Illustrated by
Noël Chilton.
Luz's abuela arrives for a visit and to teach her granddaughter how to make tamales (recipe appended). While the two prepare the dish, Abuela tells the story of how Luz's great-grandfather learned to make tamales from a favorite aunt. The story, in both English and Spanish, is wordy, but the family connection comes through. Chilton's layered illustrations reflect the multigenerational dynamic. Glos.
