Mi Abuela La Loca / My Crazy Grandma

Muchas abuelas son soñadoras, escriben poemas, incluso usan sombreros verdes de plumas... pero pocas se atreven a participar en concursos de poesía, implantar la semilla de la literatura en sus nietos y realizarse a través de ellos, haciéndolos crecer y tejer un hilo de continuidad entre las vidas de ambos mediante la escritura. Petunia es la abuela de Vicente, y de loca en realidad tiene muy poco; al contrario, sus extravagancias se ven matizadas por sus genuinos intereses, de modo que no es difícil identificar a nuestras propias abuelas con la que este libro retrata.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Award 2022

A story about the introduction to the world of reading and writing, through the inspiring effect that a phenomenal grandmother has on a child.

Many grandmas are dreamers, write poems, even wear green feathered hats ... but few dare to participate in poetry contests and plant a love of literature in their grandchildren, and consequently fulfill themselves through them, helping them grow and weaving a strand of continuity through both their lives by way of writing. Petunia is Vicente's grandmother, and she is not actually that crazy; on the contrary, her eccentricities are explained by her genuine interests. In this way, it's not difficult to identify our own grandmothers with the one depicted in this book.
