Tender, warm, and full of heart, MANGO, ABUELA, AND ME is a beautiful picture book about family, language, and the love that bridges generations - even when words are hard to find.
When Mia’s abuela moves from her sunny home filled with palm trees and parrots to the busy city, everything feels different. Abuela is learning English, and Mia is learning Spanish, but it’s still difficult for them to fully share stories and feelings with one another. Even so, they cook together, spend time side by side, and find comfort in small moments.
Then Mia spots a parrot in a pet-shop window and comes up with the perfecto idea - one that helps them communicate in a new way and brings joy to their home. Through patience, creativity, and love, Mia and Abuela discover that understanding goes far beyond words.
Written by Meg Medina, this layered and heartfelt story celebrates bilingual families, cultural transitions, and the powerful bonds between grandparents and grandchildren. A gentle, accessible exploration of language and communication, Mango, Abuela, and Me is an endearing reminder that love always finds a way to speak, and a reassuring message about patience, empathy, and love
