A beautiful celebration of traditions, music, and community…and a granddaughter’s love for her Grandma.
Abbey is spending the night at Grandma’s, but Grandma has gone on a cooking spree, making delicious Surinamese dishes: dahlpuri roti, chicken satay, plantain soup, and kip pastei! As Grandma cooks, Abbey is bored… She quickly devises a plan to throw a surprise party for Grandma and, pretty soon, the house is filled with laughter, music…and great food!
Look for the Spanish version, Una fiesta para abuela.
