Spanish is the Language of My Family

As a young boy studies for his school's Spanish spelling bee, his beloved abuela helps him learn the words he doesn't know. While they practice together, she shares stories of a time when she was only allowed to speak English in school, inspiring him to study even harder and make his family proud. This tender, intergenerational picture book celebrates cultural pride, family bonds, and the resilience of the Spanish language across generations, with backmatter exploring the history of Spanish suppression in U.S. schools.
