The story Abuela by Arthur Dorros teaches me to take care of your grandma. Abuela is about a girl who goes with her Grandma on an adventure in the city. They are using their imagination to do things together. Where will their imagination take them in the end?
This reminds me of when I saw my grandma sick in her bed and I felt sad. I ran to the backyard and just like in the story they went to the park. Sitting on the bench and the birds lift Abuela up into the sky.
I liked this story because it reminds me of my grandma and it is fun to be with her. I use my imagination when I am with her and I spend time with my grandma at her house and I give it a 10 out of 10 because she helps her grandma.

A great book-My wife was born in NYC and speaks spanish so our 6 yr old granddaughter calls her abuela or grandma. It was fun to fly over the city. She enjoyed both books Abuela and Isla-wonderful story and illustrations.

I love Elisa Kleven, the illustrator, but thought it was a silly story. I finally got a copy, read it to my children and preschool students, and they love it! I love the pictures and letting them search for "perros" and "gatos", "pájaros" and "globos". The children learn Spanish as they look!

I first purchased this book for my classroom library. My kindergartners loved the illustrations and the use of Spanish mixed in with English. I used this book as a starting point for many creative writing assignments. I have given this book as gifts to many people and most recently, my two-year old gave this book to her "Abuela" for Mother's Day!

I love reading this to my 3-year old daughter. The pictures are so colorful and full of detail.
The language and tone is so fine. The author slips in and out of the two languages, Spanish and English so easily. It is the best way to read a story. It is fantastic for my daughter's imagination. She is flying just like Rosalba, just like we all did when we were young.
We also love her other book "Isla".
