Una ni?a enfrenta sentimientos contradictorios de verg?enza y amor por su abuela mexicana en esta conmovedora historia de la autora ganadora de los premios Newbery y Pura Belpr?, Donna Barba Higuera.

Mi abuela usa un pa?uelo amarillo viejo que le regal? su abuela.

A m? no me gusta ese pa?uelo amarillo.

Cuando una ni?a siente verg?enza de su familia por ser “diferentes” e inconscientemente culpa a su abuela, ella poco a poco empieza no solo a aceptar, sino tambi?n a querer ese pa?uelo amarillo que representa un idioma y una cultura que una vez le caus? verg?enza.

Inspirada en la historia personal de la galardonada autora Donna Barba Higuera, y brillantemente ilustrada por Cynthia Alonso, El pa?uelo amarillo es una historia intergeneracional l?rica, honesta, e ?ntima sobre la aceptaci?n de qui?nes somos, de d?nde venimos y de las personas que nos criaron.

A child confronts conflicting feelings of embarrassment and love for her Mexican abuela in this moving, personal story from Newbery and Pura Belpr? Award winning author: Donna Barba Higuera

My abuela wears an old yellow handkerchief that her grandmother gave to her.

I don’t like the yellow handkerchief.

When a young girl feels ashamed of her family for being “different” and subconsciously blames her abuela, she gradually grows to not only accept but also love the yellow handkerchief that represents a language and culture that once brought embarrassment.

Inspired by the personal experiences of award-winning author Donna Barba Higuera, and expressively illustrated by Cynthia Alonso, The Yellow Handkerchief is a lyrical, honest, and intimate intergenerational story about embracing who we are, where we come from, and the people who shape us.
