Arthur Dorros’s skillful blend of Spanish and English and Raúl Colón’s poignant paintings illuminate how the special bond between an abuelo and a nieto reaches across miles.

Together, a young boy and his abuelo (grandfather) go camping, ride horses, and even confront a mountain lion. Soon, the boy’s family moves to the city from the country, away from Abuelo, and it is the boy’s memories that help him adjust to his new life.

Fans of Dorros’s Papá and Me and Abuela will delight in this bilingual and multigenerational picture book about a special family relationship.

This beautiful picture book blends Spanish and English seamlessly, all at once telling a wonderful story and introducing young readers to both languages. Perfect for bilingual families as well as teachers and families who want to expose their children to another tongue.
