by Donna Barba Higuera (Author), Cynthia Alonso (Illustrator)

Una niña enfrenta sentimientos contradictorios de vergüenza y amor por su abuela mexicana en esta conmovedora historia de la autora ganadora de los premios Newbery y Pura Belpré, Donna Barba Higuera.

Mi abuela usa un pañuelo amarillo viejo que le regaló su abuela.

A mí no me gusta ese pañuelo amarillo.

Cuando una niña siente vergüenza de su familia por ser "diferentes" e inconscientemente culpa a su abuela, ella poco a poco empieza no solo a aceptar, sino también a querer ese pañuelo amarillo que representa un idioma y una cultura que una vez le causó vergüenza.

Inspirada en la historia personal de la galardonada autora Donna Barba Higuera, y brillantemente ilustrada por Cynthia Alonso, El pañuelo amarillo es una historia intergeneracional lírica, honesta, e íntima sobre la aceptación de quiénes somos, de dónde venimos y de las personas que nos criaron.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A child confronts conflicting feelings of embarrassment and love for her Mexican abuela in this moving, personal story from Newbery and Pura Belpré Award winning author: Donna Barba Higuera

My abuela wears an old yellow handkerchief that her grandmother gave to her.

I don't like the yellow handkerchief.

When a young girl feels ashamed of her family for being "different" and subconsciously blames
her abuela, she gradually grows to not only accept but also love the yellow handkerchief that
represents a language and culture that once brought embarrassment.

Inspired by the personal experiences of award-winning author Donna Barba Higuera, and expressively illustrated by Cynthia Alonso, The Yellow Handkerchief is a lyrical, honest, and intimate intergenerational story about embracing who we are, where we come from, and the people who shape us.
