Leonarda Carranza was born in San Salvador and currently lives in Brampton, ON, part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Warm, expressive illustrations by Rafael Mayani highlight the tenderness in Abuelita and the narrator’s relationship. Until a moment of empowerment helps her see the strength she and Abuelita share when they face the world together. Sad, angry, and scared, the story’s young narrator decides not to leave home again. On the bus and at the grocery store, people are impatient and suspicious. But venturing out into the city is not always as fun. Spending time at home with Abuelita means pancakes, puddle-jumping, and nail-painting. Written by Leonarda Carranza, illustrated by Rafael Mayani
