I love this little picture book. It’s a quick read and, oh, so sweet. The grandmother (“abuela”) definitely has a special relationship with her granddaughter. It’s impossible to tell whether she is just visiting her abuela or lives with her, but either way, there’s a loveliness about their interactions.
The bird they rescue is nursed back to health and released. Meanwhile, they build a small bird house in case it’s needed in the future. Young readers will be delighted when the cute yellow bird returns for a visit in the spring.
Happy reading!
