Key Selling Points When a boy goes digging in his backyard, he finds his great-great-grandmother's skeleton...who scolds him for not recognizing her! After a fun day together, she returns to her final resting place, but the boy will never forget the time they spent together. A funny and heartwarming look at our relationships to our ancestors, whom we usually don't get to meet, and how a boy creates a relationship with his great-great-grandmother even though she's no longer around.
Sure to inspire the imagination of readers, who might dream up what they would do if they could visit with a long-lost family member, and a good jumping-off point for discussions about family heritage and different generations. Full of bold, bright illustrations that underscore the humor and warmth of the story. Joaquín Camp's work has been published in many languages, including Spanish, Korean, Italian, Dutch and English.
