Description

A heartwarming story about the special bond between a grandparent and grandchild, Grandma's Gift is a celebration of self-discovery and creativity. During a traditional Puerto Rican Christmas celebration, young Eric spends a holiday with his grandmother, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a school project. There, he discovers a painting by Diego Velasquez that sparks his interest in art. His grandmother notices his fascination and presents him with a special gift - a set of paints to help him explore his artistic side. This beautifully illustrated book is a prequel to Eric Velasquez's biographical picture book Grandma's Records, offering a touching tale of a grandchild's first steps towards becoming an artist.
