"This book tells the story of a young boy and his grandfather who just came to the United States from a different county. The boy tries to get his grandfather a job, but lies about what his grandfather's strengths are. This book can be used to being to have a conversation about immigration and what it means to come to this country and try to find a job. Some key issues can be brought up with the language barriers and with working as an immigrant."

    " I loved this book--positive but not perfect immigrant characters and great values. Both the grandfather and grandson are very real. This is what picture books should be. "

    " This book is the story of a boy who has to translate for his abuelo to help him get a job, but he lies about his abuelo's abilities, a twist I wasn't expecting. This book shows Mexican-Americans, and also teaches the importance of being honest. I like that it inserts several Spanish words. "
