Historier fra min barndom

The dual-language format is a real gift—I can stumble through the Spanish sections my abuela used to say, then check the English right after. These twenty-five tales feel like they were whispered straight from her kitchen, and the regional dialect feels so familiar and warm.

Reading these out loud with my grandmother, the regional Spanish feels so alive and familiar—it’s like hearing her voice again. The twenty-five stories are short enough to share one before bed, and I love that each one carries that Northern New Mexico warmth.

The bilingual format is a gift—I read the English to my kids, then stumble through the regional Spanish and laugh at my own accent. These twenty-five stories feel like they were pulled straight from a family kitchen, warm and full of heart.
