Abuela amp rsquo s Letter is a beautiful story that addresses loss and grief within a Latin family where a young girl is challenged by the death of her grandmother and discovers letter-writing as a way to cope and connect with her loved one's passing.
NCTE Charlotte Huck Award amp reg for Outstanding Fiction for Children
Alma amp rsquo s favorite days are when her big family gathers at Abuela amp rsquo s house. T amp iacute os take siestas while t amp iacute as tell their stories, and primos play dominoes while Abuela stirs the frijoles. Always at the center is the love of Abuela! Alma amp rsquo s beloved grandmother and her number one fan! When Abuela dies, all of this is suddenly gone. Alma is filled with sadness and grief, until she finds a letter that Abuela left for her.
Could Abuela amp rsquo s words be what fills her heart again with love and sweet memories?
This thoughtful story captures the concept of amp ldquo familismo amp rdquo beautifully ― a Latin cultural value that involves dedication, commitment, and loyalty to family. Regularly spending time with one's immediate and extended family is part of familismo, as well as seeking the family's advice and support for important decisions and life transitions, such grief and loss. Includes a note to readers in English and Spanish with coping strategies essential to Latino and Hispanic families about grief and loss of a loved one, as well as additional ways to support children and honor the life and memory of beloved family members.
