Abuelita and Me by Leonarda Carranza

5.0

Is this a shout-out to younger generations of migrants not willing to be passively put down? Because it felt like it and it is SO EMPOWERING! And not in an aggressive way that our elders might frown upon it; it speaks of strength, finding your own voice, and defending your and your family's dignity with grace and courage. All showered with the ups-and-downs that the unwavering love between "Abuelita and me" comes with. 5 shining stars!
