Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Liliana has two grandmothers from different countries, with different interests, and who speak different languages. This story presents the common differences in North American and Latin American cultures through a figure that is very important to both. The simplicity of the story allows children to see cultural contrasts in a positive way. (PreSchool-Grade 2)
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
Ages 4^-7. Liliana has one grandmother who lives down the street from her in America, and one who lives in another country and speaks only Spanish. Mama Gabina keeps pet birds, and Mima has a cat named Suzy; Mama Gabina loves gardening, and Mima likes to sew; Mama Gabina has a big meal at lunchtime, and Mima has a small lunch. What counts most, of course, is that her grandmothers love her: no matter how much they differ otherwise, in that respect they are the same. Torres' peaceful watercolors, in pale greens and blues and yellows, are just right for this soothing picture of intergenerational relationships, which will leave children thinking about their ties with their own grandparents.
