Publisher's Synopsis
A girl bonds with her grandmother by making her over in this English and Spanish collaboration between award-winning author Lee Merrill Byrd and acclaimed illustrator Francisco Delgado. Kids will love the fun illustrations giving them ideas for playing with their grandma, or any grown-up. Adults will appreciate that the game will only require them to lie back and relax. Great book for readers learning either English or Spanish, and anyone that wants to build a bond between a child and an older relative. Lee has been the recipient of the Skipping Stones Honor Book Award, the Southwest Book Award, the Paterson Poetry Center Prize, the Teddy Award from the Texas Writers League, and the Cultural Freedom Fellowship from the Lannan Foundation. Francisco earned an MFA from the Yale School of art, and his paintings have been on book covers, national art exhibits, private collections and community institutions.
As a co-owner of Cinco Puntos Press, Lee is well-versed in the marketing process of a children's book, and has a lot of personal connections with other acclaimed children's authors, such as Benjamin Alire Saenz, Paula Wallace, Cynthia Weill, and Joe Hayes--who will be contacted for blurbs.
