www.kidlit.tv/...
Do you love the feel of the sand between your toes? Join Ismée Williams as she shares her tender picture book ABUELO, THE SEA, AND ME, a beautiful story about a little girl and her grandfather, the trips they take to the beach across the four seasons in one year, and the memories Abuelo shares with her of his long ago island home.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Abuelo, the Sea, and Me is a tender, heartwarming picture book that vividly explores intergenerational connections, family history, and the immigrant experience.
When this grandchild visits her abuelo, he takes her to the ocean. In summer, they kick off their shoes and let the cool waves tickle their toes. In winter, they stand on the cliff and let the sea spray prick their noses and cheeks. No matter the season, hot or cold, their favorite place to spend time together is the beach.
It’s here that Abuelo is able to open up about his youth in Havana, Cuba. As they walk along the sand, he recalls the tastes, sounds, and smells of his childhood. And with his words, Cuba comes alive for his grandchild.
