Gabriella Aldeman's Reviews > In the Groves

Every year, Clara visits her abuelo and her familia in California. She yearns to be connected with the family; not as a visitor but as one of the cousins that help out Abuelo in the groves. More than anything she wants to experience the magic of the groves and have tales of her own to share at the dinner table. In the groves, Abuelo and Clara share stories, food, and hard work. They find connection. This beautiful story will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. This is one of those books you'll want to hug and share widely with other readers.
