About this book
When Lucy tiptoes into her grandmother's room each morning, she finds her Mexican American abuelita affectionately called Little Mam ready with a tickle back, even as some everyday things have slipped from her memory. The story follows Lucy as she helps her grandmother with tasks like tying shoes and finding the way to the park, while also learning the songs, stories, and Spanish phrases that Little Mam still remembers and shares. This gentle picture book captures the mix of challenges and warmth in an intergenerational relationship, showing how love and cultural traditions persist even when memory falters.
