A young girl wishes her family could be more like her friends' families and subconsiously blames her abuela and her yellow handkerchief, but she slowly grows to appreciate and love the language and culture the handkerchief represents. - Grand Central Pub
A child confronts conflicting feelings of embarrassment and love for her Mexican abuela in this moving, personal story from Newbery- and Pura Belpré Awardâwinning author Donna Barba Higuera
My abuela wears an old yellow handkerchief that her grandmother gave to her.
I donât like the yellow handkerchief.
When a young girl feels ashamed of her family for being âdifferentâ and subconsciously blames her abuela, she gradually grows to not only accept but also love the yellow handkerchief that represents a language and culture that once brought embarrassment.
Inspired by the personal experiences of award-winning author Donna Barba Higuera and expressively illustrated by Cynthia Alonso, The Yellow Handkerchief is a lyrical, honest, and intimate intergenerational story about embracing who we are, where we come from, and the people who shape us.
