While visiting her abuelo in Cuba, a young girl helps him sell frutas, singing the name of each fruit as they walk, and after she returns to the United States, they exchange letters made of abrazos–hugs. Includes historical and cultural notes.
Why I like this book: The grandfather and grand-daughter are trying to sell fruits. This book can help with language and with lessons on fruits and vegetables in a different language.
