This month’s recommendation is Los Remedios de Mi Nana, written by award-winning bilingual author and presenter Roni Rivera Capin-Ashford. Roni was born and raised in Nogales, Arizona, and represents the Borderland language and culture in her books. Los Remedios de Mi Nana reminds us of just how special a grandmother can be. As written by the School Library Journal, “The bright, solid-seeming, colored-pencil cartoon illustrations are both eye-catching and humorous. . . Not only a heartwarming tale of a young child and her grandmother, this is also an excellent introduction to the art of the curandera and the concept of alternative medicine in general.” ABSí believes that everyone who has or has had a “Nana” will identify closely with this cultural book, which portrays the Mexican and Native American lifestyle very well. It is ideal for children five and up.
