Description
With lush art by two-time NYT Best Illustrated recipient Violeta Lópiz, a picture book about a boy and his larger-than-life immigrant grandfather, who shares with him the kind of learning thats not taught in classrooms.? A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children''s Book of 2023! ? A NYPL Best Children''s Book of 2023! ? A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of 2023! ? A Marginalian Favorite Book of 2023! ? A 2024 USBBY Outstanding International Book!At six years old, the child-narrator of this picture book loves nothing more than spending time with his grandpa, Luisespecially in his marvelous garden, where green beans reach as high as the sky. Luiss garden is where the little boy practices reading and writing. But just as importantly, its also where he learns wonderful things from Luis, like the names of all the birds in the trees and new expressions that are so much fun to say. Luis''s playful vocabulary is as vibrant and full of life as his garden, and phrases that are particular to his way of talking, like "at the drop of a cat" (which means right away), are soon adapted into the little boy''s lexicon, too.A talented cook, artist, and gardener, Luis has much wisdom to impart and many experiences to share with his grandsoneven though, as a war refugee, he never went to school himself and never learned to read and write. A loving testament to the intergenerational transmission of knowledge and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world, illustrated with evocative, multilayered art by Violeta Lópiz.
