Abuela’s Letter (Magination Press, Books for Kids American Psychological Association, 2024) is a beautiful story of loss and grief in a Latin family. When the death of her grandmother challenges a young girl, she finds solace and connection through letter-writing, navigating her emotions, and cherishing memories.
Alma’s favorite days are when her big family gathers at Abuela’s house. Tios take siestas while tias tell their stories, and primos play dominoes while Abuela stirs the frijoles. Always at the center is the love of Abuela. Alma’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’s words be what fills her heart again with love and sweet memories?
