Together, a young boy and his abuelo go camping, ride horses, get lost and found, and even confront a mountain lion. And when the boy's family moves to the city from the country, away from Abuelo, it is his memories that help him adjust to his new life. Arthur Dorros's skillful blend of Spanish and English and Raúl Colón's poignant paintings illuminate how the special bond between an abuelo and a nieto (grandson) reaches across miles!
