A little girl holds lessons learned in her grandfather’s
sari-sari store close while adjusting to a new home in this sweet
picture book about the joy of community, connection, and Filipino
culture. For one girl, summers used to mean helping Lolo run his
sari-sari store, which was always brimming with goods for the
neighborhood: shampoo packets for Ate Jane, rice and eggs for
Tonton, and a sympathetic ear for anyone who needed it.
“Sari-sari means a good variety—just look around and you’ll
see. What help can you give your community?” Lolo would say, as
he filled his shelves with what people would need. Now that she’s
far from the Philippines, she misses Lolo and the friendly faces
that surrounded his sari-sari store. But when she remembers her
grandfather’s words, her heart keeps Lolo close, and she starts
to see opportunities for connection and community in her new home.
