Mia's grandmother leaves her own home behind to come live with Mia and her parents. Unfortunately, communication is difficult because Abuela speaks Spanish, but Mia speaks English. Mia labels household objects and the two play language games. Although this helps a bit, it is Abuela's new parrot, Mango, that bridges the gap between them.
Prekindergarten through third graders are a good audience for this book. Its colorful pictures and animals will attract young readers, and those living in households which have extended family members such as grandparents residing there will certainly relate. This book teaches that different languages do not have to be a barrier to relationships. Love can bridge the gap. In addition, this book is a great resource for introducing Spanish vocabulary.
