BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
A girl and her grandfather visit the beach. Each season reminds him of his home in Cuba. The girl knows he misses the place he was born, but he finds other things more important.
I loved how grandfather would say things he missed (mostly cognates) in Spanish, and the granddaughter would agree with the same words in English. I really enjoyed seeing the beach in seasons other than summer. I have to say, I don't think of the beach in winter, and I loved that it was included, so different from the beach in Cuba - it really showed how special the grandfather's memories must be. The grandfather is Cuban.
