Christmas with Grandparents

Sandra Jaramillo Botero Β· 2019
92/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Sandra Jaramillo Botero wrote and illustrated this warm holiday story about Sara and Daniel spending their first Christmas at their grandparents' home, where Grandma Anita and Grandpa Martin want to give them not just a great holiday but the true meaning of Christmas. The intergenerational warmth is genuine, and the author's unified role as writer and illustrator ensures the words and pictures speak the same language. The bilingual English and Spanish availability is a meaningful strength, extending the book's reach into households where both languages are spoken. The honest caveat is that specific faith content details are not fully verifiable from available sources, and no professional reviews have been located. For families seeking a cozy, values-centered Christmas picture book with bilingual appeal, it reads as a worthy find.
