About this book

Español

Grandma and Me at the Flea/Los

Cada domingo, Juanito ayuda a su abuela a vender ropa usada bajo las carpas de colores del remate, el mercado de pulgas. Mientras corretea de puesto en puesto con sus amigos, Juanito descubre la visión de su abuela: el remate como una comunidad basada en el intercambio amistoso, no en el dinero. Desde cambiar pulseras por ayuda con giros postales hasta intercambiar hierbas curativas por chiles, cada trueque le enseña a Juanito lo que significa ser un verdadero rematero. Una cálida historia bilingüe que celebra la familia, la cultura y el valor inestimable de la comunidad.

English

Grandma and Me at the Flea

Every Sunday, Juanito helps his grandmother sell old clothes under the rainbow-colored tents of the remate, the flea market. As he romps from booth to booth with his friends, Juanito discovers Grandma's vision of the remate as a community built on friendly give-and-take rather than money. From trading bracelets for help with money orders to swapping healing herbs for chiles, each exchange teaches Juanito what it truly means to be a rematero. A warm bilingual story celebrating family, culture, and the priceless value of community.
