(2) K-3 Illustrated by Angela Dominguez. Mia worries when her "far-away grandmother" arrives. Abuela doesn't speak English, and Mia's "español is not good enough to tell her the things an abuela should know." A pet-store parrot named Mango allows Mia and her abuela to truly connect. This heartwarming story about finding common ground and adapting to change is accompanied by illustrations that capture the characters' emotions and moods.
