(3) K-3 Illustrated by Raúl Colón. Employing his signature crosshatchlike textures and colors of the earth and sky, Colón creates an expansive South American Pampas setting where Abuelo, a gaucho, shares adventures and advice with his grandson; Abuelo's guidance stays with him after the boy moves to the city. Spanish words and phrases are integrated naturally within the narrative, and the strong grandson-grandfather bond transcends time and place.
