While the two sets of grandparents are different in many waysthey also have a great deal in common — in particulartheir love for their granddaughter. While we follow our narrator to the circus and the piershare stories from her grandparents’ pastsand celebrate her birthdaythe depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and English. This affirmation of both heritages will speak to all children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic backgrounds.
