| Publisher Description: In Spanish. A girl in Guatemala learns about family tradition and trust from her grandmother. Esperanza's Abuela, her grandmother, is unmatched in her skill in weaving traditional Mayan tapestries. She has shared her gift with her granddaughter, and now they plan to sell their goods at the market. However, the birthmark on Abuela's face may scare customers away. So Esperanza must cope with the city streets and find buyers alone. Translated from Abuela's Weave, El tapiz de Abuela is a touching story of personal growth and family pride. |
