From an award-winning author and illustrator, a warm, gentle ode to cherished visits from grandparents and the people and places that make us who we are even if we havent met them yet.Its been three years since Abuelas last visit, and Dulce revels in every tiny detail-from Abuelas maletas full of candies in crinkly wrappers and gifts from primos to the sweet, earthy smell of Peru that floats out of Abuelas room and down the hall. But Abuelas visit cant last forever, and all too soon shes packing her suitcases again. Then Dulce has an idea: maybe there are things she can gather for her cousins and send with Abuela to remind them of the U.S. relatives theyve never met. And despite having to say goodbye, Abuela has one more surprise for Dulce-something to help her remember that home isnt just a place, but the deep-rooted love they share no matter the distance.
