Written by TV commentator and SVP and Chief Content Officer at TheGrio Natasha S. Alford, this Spanish-inflected picture book is an intergenerational celebration of the Afro-Latina experience. Abuela lives in Puerto Rico. Grandma lives in New York City. Abuela cooks arroz con gandules. Grandma makes collard greens and cornbread. Abuela only speaks a little English. Grandma doesn’t speak any Spanish. Today, Abuela and Grandma are meeting for the first time. Maya is worried—what if they misunderstand each other? But Abuela and Grandma have one big thing in common: their love for Maya, their granddaughter. From award-winning journalist Natasha S. Alford, with illustrations by Natalia Rojas Castro, this lively text is a celebration of a young girl’s multicultural experience.
