Accordionly: Abuelo and Opa Make Music
Written by Michael Genhart
Illustrated by Priscilla Burris
Published by Magination Press
When both grandpas, Abuelo and Opa, visit at the same time, they can’t understand each other’s language, and there is a lot of silence.
The grandson’s clever thinking helps find a way for everyone to share the day together as two cultures become one family. This unique book includes a bonus fold-out and a note from the author sharing the true story of his own family.
