NCTE Charlotte Huck Award amp reg for Outstanding Fiction for Children

Alma amp rsquo s favorite days are when her big family gathers at Abuela amp rsquo s house. T amp iacute os take siestas while t amp iacute as tell their stories, and primos play dominoes while Abuela stirs the frijoles. Always at the center is the love of Abuela! Alma amp rsquo s beloved grandmother and her number one fan! When Abuela dies, all of this is suddenly gone. Alma is filled with sadness and grief, until she finds a letter that Abuela left for her.

Could Abuela amp rsquo s words be what fills her heart again with love and sweet memories?

Includes a note to readers in English and Spanish with coping strategies essential to Latino and Hispanic families about grief and loss of a loved one, as well as additional ways to support children and honor the life and memory of beloved family members.
