2024 IS IN THE BOOKS
for I’m Your Neighbor Books
Which books & creators defined our year?
Abuelita and Me joined the Welcoming Library collection this year when we created and inserted a set of Discussion Questions that asked readers to explore the racism and recovery in this deeply honest and beautiful picture book.
Abuelita and Me quickly became the #1 picture book placed in our Welcoming Library: Traveling Collections in 2024! You can see Abuelita peeking through the window in our new book display for the Welcoming Library.
Thank you to author Leonarda Carranza, illustrator Rafael Mayani, and Annick Press for this transformative text about a Salvadoran immigrant family. Also available #en español as Abuelita y yo.
Leonarda Carranza’s conversation with our board vice chair Xavier Botana is part of the Pine Project: Professional Development.
