My Abuelita

Johnston, T. (2009). My Abuelita. Yuyi Morales. Boston, NY: Harcourt Children’s Books.

Brief Annotation: The book begins by going through the morning routine of a girl and her grandmother, from the point of view of the child. The book does not tell what Abuelita does for a job till the very end. Can you figure it out?

Genre: Fiction; Picture book; Culturally Diverse book

Grade Level: PreK-3

Readers who will like this: Children who like picture books, children who like puzzles and figuring things out.

Response/Rating (1-4): 4; I think this book is adorable. I love that throughout the story the reader is not told the profession of Abuelita. It was fun to sit and wonder what she was getting ready for.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you have a morning routine?
