Abuelita and Me by Leonarda Carranza

Such a great book! Read it to my 2 and 4-year-old nieces and they loved the images.

A very touching book that describes racism and the injustice that people of color face. When this young girl and their grandma ride the bus, they face challenges when the bus driver belittles them. They face prejudice and are bullied by the bus driver. The young girl is affected and doesn't want to leave her home because she is in fear.

I had different emotions run through me as I read it. It made me sad, mad, and hopeful at times. The author did such a great job writing this book and addressing many social issues that people of color face every day.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC book
