Grandma, Where Will Your Love Go? /Abuela, ¿Adónde Irá Tu Amor? (Bilingual English/Spanish)
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

This engaging picture book depicts the loving relationship between a young girl and her grandmother and the girl’s growing realization that her grandmother will not always be physically present. 

Abuela comforts her granddaughter by using nature’s beauty, power and mystery to reassure her that life continues—and so does love. The child will feel her touch in the sun’s warmth and her kiss in each raindrop. When the wind lifts her hair, she will know her grandmother is there. The beauty of sunlit dragonflies and the smell of baked bread will be reminders of her love. “Feel my love in the power of waterfalls,” Grandma says. “Feel it in a moonlit darkness and in the sprout from a seed.” The love they share will surround her always.

With beautiful illustrations by Gastón Hauviller depicting a child enjoying activities with a special adult, this bilingual book about loss, healing and a unique bond will connect children to the idea that we come from and return to nature.


Este atractivo libro ilustrado describe la relación amorosa entre una niña y su abuela y la creciente comprensión de la niña de que su abuela no siempre estará físicamente presente.

Abuela consuela a su nieta utilizando la belleza, el poder y el misterio de la naturaleza para asegurarle que la vida continúa y el amor también. El niño sentirá su tacto en el calor del sol y su beso en cada gota de lluvia. Cuando el viento le levante el pelo, sabrá que su abuela está allí. La belleza de las libélulas iluminadas por el sol y el olor del pan horneado serán recordatorios de su amor. “Siente mi amor en el poder de las cascadas”, dice la abuela. "Siéntelo en la oscuridad iluminada por la luna y en el brote de una semilla". El amor que comparten la rodeará siempre.

Con hermosas ilustraciones de Gastón Hauviller que representan a un niño disfrutando de actividades con un adulto especial, este libro bilingüe sobre la pérdida, la curación y un vínculo único conectará a los niños con la idea de que venimos de la naturaleza y regresamos a ella.
