A Gift from Abuela af Cecilia Ruiz

This reminded me a bit of O Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" because it's about wanting to buy something nice for someone you love, but it doesn't work out the way you plan.

I thought this story was so sweet and full of love, so I was baffled by negative reviews from Kirkus and SLJ. Another recent picture book, I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU GRANDMA by Taro Gomi, also depicts a strong bond between grandmother and grandchild, leaving the parents out of the picture, but it's clear the grandmother is not the primary caregiver.… (mere)

A Gift from Abuela af Cecilia Ruiz

This book is a story about an abuela and her granddaughter, and the fun things they do together. This was a good story, but a little flat and didn't really pull me in. But the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter illustrated in this story was really special. This book would be appropriate for early readers.

A Gift from Abuela af Cecilia Ruiz

A Gift from Abuela is a beautiful book about a grandmother who wants to do something special for her granddaughter Nina. However, after saving up so much money to do something special, something bad happens ruining her plans. This is a great book to show how even during financial troubles what matters is the relationship that you have with your family, because that is worth way more than what money has to offer.
