A Maleta Full of Treasures
Illustrator
A Maleta Full of Treasures is one of the strongest recent diverse picture books about grandparents, migration, and the emotional life of family visits. Natalia Sylvester follows Dulce as she savors every small detail of Abuela's trip from Peru, from the gifts tucked into her maletas to the memories and stories that travel with her. For readers looking for Latinx picture books and immigrant-family stories that feel tender, specific, and beautifully child-centered, this is an excellent choice. Especially useful for talking about migration, memory, language, and belonging. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Rogers. Keep browsing BIPOC picture books, or read it alongside Chooch Helped by Andrea L. Rogers.
