Abuelo by Arthur Dorros –ESSENTIAL

Dorros, Arthur Abuelo 32 pgs. HarperCollins, 2014. $17.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. PICTURE BOOK

A boy and his grandfather, Abuelo, spend time together in the country. They ride horses together, exploring the beauty of nature and learning life lessons. When the boy moves to the city, he those memories and lesson infuse his daily life and make it better.

This book is special. It’s inspiring, sweet, and profound. It’s a fantastic addition to any collection, especially for grandparents day. I like how the boy is able to transfer his knowledge and his grandfather’s memory into new parts of his life. The artwork is stunning and unique.
