| Summary: | "Maria and her beloved lolo -- her grandfather -- spend their days drawing together, eating ice cream from Mang Basilio's ice cream cart and watching the maya birds outside their home in the Philippines. Until one day, Lolo stops feeling well and his drawing desk is left empty. Over time, he starts to forget names, words and even forget people entirely. Maria worries -- will her lolo forget about her? How can she reconnect with Lolo when he's unable to find his words? This sweet and poignant story, beautifully illustrated by Jamie Bauza, is a wonderful conversation starter about the ties that bind us and how to navigate through family change."-- |
