So Many Questions: Abuela Becomes a US Citizen

Written by Belen Medina
Illustrated by Heidi Moreno
Published by Quill Tree Books

Anita’s abuela is taking a very important test soon: the exam to become a US citizen! If Abuelita passes, she’ll finally be able to achieve her life-long dream. Anita and her abuela review the questions everywhere they go: at the tiendita, at the open mercado, all around the barrio. But will Abuelita pass the test?

This ode to immigrants, beautifully brought to life by illustrator Heidi Moreno, will fascinate and educate readers about what it takes to become a US citizen.

  • Includes the full list of 100 questions for the US citizenship test – with answers
  • Inspired by the author’s grandmother’s path to citizenship
