About The Book
From Pura Belpré Honor author Gloria Amescua comes a sweet picture book integrating Spanish words and celebrating the family and music that connects us all.
Every night, when the sun says buenas noches, a mother sings a special lullaby to her baby boy: ¿Dónde está mi corazón? Aquí, aquí, aquí en mis brazos.
As he gets older, the boy asks for his song over and over until it’s forever in his heart. When the boy grows up and moves away, he teaches the song to his daughters. And now that Abuelita is coming for a visit, the girls plan a surprise for her: they are going to sing her song, “La canción del corazón.”

About The Illustrator

Why We Love It
“Abuelita’s Song is a modern-day Love You Forever. It’s part lullaby and part love letter between generations within a family. With its lyrical text and gorgeous art, readers will want to read this again and again!”
—Catherine L., Senior Editor, on Abuelita’s Song
