De Regil has written a simple but touching book. Anyone who reads it can relate because they will remember pleasant memories of their own grandmothers. Tania de Regil is the author and illustrator for this book. It was especially meaningful because she used her grandfather's poems written in her grandmother's hand for the background of some of the illustrations.
