Las visitas de Abuela desde México siempre emocionan a la pequeña Sabrina. Este año, la maleta amarilla cubierta de calcomanías se abre como un cofre de tesoros: listones de colores, un silbato de barro en forma de pájaro, un tambor y el intenso aroma del chocolate. Cuando Sabrina quiere jugar a ser princesa, Abuela saca un huipil, el traje tradicional de las mujeres mayas y aztecas, y responde sus preguntas sobre los antepasados: el árbol de cacao, las semillas que servían de moneda y el chocolate que Moctezuma vertía sobre nieve. Un tierno libro bilingüe sobre familia, herencia e historia.

English Translation

Grandma's Chocolate

Abuela's visits from Mexico always thrill young Sabrina. This year her grandmother's sticker-covered yellow suitcase opens like a treasure chest, revealing colorful ribbons, a clay bird whistle, a drum, and the rich scent of chocolate. When Sabrina wants to play at being a princess, Abuela produces a huipil, the traditional dress of Mayan and Aztec women, and answers her granddaughter's many questions about their ancestors: the cacao tree, seeds once used as money, and Moctezuma's chocolate poured over mountain snow. A warm bilingual picture book celebrating family, heritage, and history.
