Grandma's Hair Is Ankle Length / El Cabello de Abuela Le Llega Hasta Los Tobillos - Hardcover
by Adriana Camacho-Church (Created by), Carmen Lop (Illustrator)
"In this poetic ode to grandmothers, a young girl likens her abuela's long hair to strength, security and understanding. The black strands speak of "finding courage in the unknown," while the white ones represent wisdom and hope. Camacho-Church evokes the natural world with references to creatures such as owls and dragonflies, plants like roses and wildflowers, and sunlight, the moon and waterfalls. The girl wonders if her own hair will one day tell stories, and her grandmother assures her it already "holds the whispers of her ancestors." With stunningly beautiful illustrations by Carmen Lop that depict a loving intergenerational relationship playing out against the beauty of nature, this bilingual picture book for children ages 4-8 confirms both the importance of the world in which we live and the love between an elder and a child. "Grandma and I hug, and our hair flows together as one.""
