In this poignant, empowering picture book, a girl and her beloved abuelita lean on each other as they contend with racism while running errands in the city.

Spending time at home with Abuelita means pancakes, puddle-jumping, and nail-painting. But venturing out into the city is not always as fun. On the bus and at the grocery store, people are impatient and suspicious—sometimes they even yell. Sad, angry, and scared, the story’s young narrator decides not to leave home again... until a moment of empowerment helps her see the strength she and Abuelita share when they face the world together. Warm, expressive illustrations highlight the tenderness in Abuelita and the narrator’s relationship.
