It’s a topic that is not often directly confronted in a picture book, racism and microaggressions. Abuelita kindly and patiently gives her the space to build her confidence and try again. When they experience racism on the bus, the girl is frightened and doesn’t want to go back out into the world. When they are at home they have fun, when they have to go out into the world some people are mean and impatient with Abueltia and it makes the little girl very sad. They paint each other’s nails, eat pancakes and splash in the puddles. In a touching story about the observations of a child, Abuelita and Me by Leonarda Carranza and Rafael Mayani addresses racism and microaggressions as the child and her Abuelita go about their day.Įveryday Abuelita and her grandchild have a lot of fun.
