Your kids will love this!

This book has valuable lessons for a child to learn. The main character in the book loses her Grandmother and learns how to cope with the loss by helping others and sharing what little she has. It's a touching story and I especially recommend it to Latino parents and parents looking to add a little cultural adversity to their child's reading.
