A warm, gentle ode to cherished visits with grandparents and the people and places that make us who we are even if we haven’t met them yet, by an acclaimed author and illustrator.It’s been three years since Abuela’s last visit, and Dulce revels in every tiny detail—from Abuela’s maletas full of candies in crinkly wrappers and gifts from primos to the sweet, earthy smell of Peru that floats out of Abuela’s room and down the hall. But Abuela’s visit can’t last forever, and all too soon she’s packing her suitcases again. Then Dulce has an idea: maybe there are things she can gather for her cousins and send with Abuela to remind them of the U.S. relatives they’ve never met. And despite having to say goodbye, Abuela has one more surprise for Dulce—something to help her remember that home isn’t just a place, but the deep-rooted love they share no matter the distance.

English Translation

The Suitcase of Treasures

Dulce treasures every visit from Abuela, who comes only every few years bringing suitcases packed with candies, gifts from cousins, and the warm, earthy scent of Peru. When Abuela's visit ends and she must pack up again, Dulce decides to fill a suitcase of her own—treasures to send back for the cousins she has never met, so they can feel connected to their U.S. family. Before leaving, Abuela shares one more surprise, reminding Dulce that home isn't only a place but the enduring love that binds a family across any distance. A tender story about multigenerational bonds, memory, and belonging.
