A delicious and fortifying picture book inspired by the author's
family, featuring the Mexican tradition of holiday tamale-making
"What is the recipe?" I ask. Abuela laughs. "It is in my heart,
Rosie. I use mis ojos, my eyes, to measure. Mis manos, my hands, to
feel. Mi boca, my mouth, to taste. My abuela gave it to me, and I
am giving it to you." Each year on Christmas Eve, Rosie's abuela,
mama, tia, sister, and cousins all gather together in Abuela's
kitchen to make tamales-cleaning corn husks, chopping onions and
garlic, roasting chilis, kneading cornmeal dough, seasoning the
filling, and folding it all-and tell stories. Rosie learns from her
abuela not only how to make a delicious tamale, but how to make a
delicious life, one filled with love, plenty of spice, and family.
