A young girl and her mother visit the park and her abuela's "new garden." They bring flowers and sometimes a balloon. Beyond the fence is Abuela's old house and garden. The girl longs to visit and dance among the flowers with her grandmother. When she peeks over the fence, the flowers are gone. She searches for a glimpse of Abuela. She remembers every day playing and dancing in the garden, her grandmother's warm hugs and sweet scent. She finds out memories keep her loved one alive.
A beautiful, heartfelt tribute to memories of a loving grandmother who nurtured the young girl, this picture book delivers. Illustrations by Brianna McCarthy are full of life and joy, bringing the memories alive once more. Cover design is outstanding and deserves a standing ovation.
A must read especially helpful for any child who has lost a loving grandparent.
Five stars, ages 2 and up.
