Reach for this book when your child is navigating the beautiful, sometimes complex reality of a multicultural family or a long-distance relationship with a loved one. It is a comforting balm for children who feel torn between two worlds, showing them that love looks different in every home but feels the same in the heart. Through the eyes of young Liliana, the story highlights how her two grandmothers, Mima and Abuela Ana, express their affection through unique traditions, languages, and foods. Liliana's experiences range from feeding birds in a local park to picking exotic fruits in a distant tropical garden. This gentle narrative celebrates the joy of dual heritage without making the child choose between them. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 8, providing a mirror for those in immigrant families and a window for others into the richness of Latin American culture. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'bittersweet' nature of having family far away while focusing primarily on the abundance of love and the magic of discovery.
