Julia is an elementary aged girl who is going to visit her grandmother's house in Mexico for the first time. Julia is Hispanic. She gets to know her grandmother during this time. Julia is also able to learn about her Hispanic culture. When Julia's parents come to take her home, they have a wonderful surprise for her! 

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.
