| "Abuela takes me on the bus. We go all around the city..." (from the first line) Flying around Manhattan Island, somersaulting in midair, resting in the sky on a chair-shaped cloud . . . Rosalba and her grandmother, her abuela, are having an extraordinary adventure. How do they manage this exhilirating travel that started in the park? On Rosalba's marvelous imagination. Full-color illustrations.
Annotation:
A little girl imagines that she and her abuela (Spanish for "grandmother") can fly. The pair enjoy an aerial tour of their city, visiting people and sites important to the grandmother's past. The English text contains a few Spanish words and phrases. The colorful illustrations are mixed-media collages created with watercolors, pastels, inks, and cut paper.
