Grandma's Gift by Eric Velazquez


Eric goes to visit his grandmother from Puerto Rico in New York for his Christmas break. Together they cook and go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art so that Eric can complete his project over the painting Juan de Pareja by the artist Diego Velazquez. This is actaully based on the author Mr. Velazquez's memories of going to visit his grandmother in El Barrio in Harlem when he was younger. It also has spanish phrases peppered in throughout the text as well as the meaning of each.
