Mango, Abuela, and Me

Recommended Ages: 5-8

Written by Meg Medina and Angela Dominguez.

In the charming picture book Mango, Abuela, and Me, an award-winning duo tells the tender story of Mia, a bright young girl whose Abuela has come to stay with her family in the city. However, there's a challenge: Mia struggles with Spanish, and Abuela knows little English. To bridge their communication gap, they embark on a journey of learning each other’s languages—starting in the kitchen while cooking together. With the help of a chatty parrot, their efforts turn into a delightful adventure, conveying the heartfelt message that love transcends all language barriers. This beautifully illustrated story celebrates family, connection, and the joy of understanding one another.
