Elementary Grades
"José's grandmother is coming to live in his house and he does not know what to expect. First he has to move some of his belongings to make room for his abuelita, since she will be sharing his room. Then he has to give up some of the backyard where he plays ball so abuelita can grow a vegetable garden. He does not mind in the end since he gets to savor the sweet corn, pumpkin, and other produce. Abuelita changes his life in other ways, all for the better."
