From great-grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, four generations embrace family tradition in slightly different ways. But one thing never changes: the love they have for one another.

De la bisabuela a la abuela a la mamá a la hija, cuatro generaciones adoptan las tradiciones familiares de maneras ligeramente diferentes. Sólo una cosa nunca cambia: el amor que se tienen.

As a five-star review from a parent put it: "It's great for kids who want to know Spanish and English!"

Praise for this book

"Every time it was the same, but different." That is the thematic refrain that pulls together four short stories about four generations of mothers and daughters who each make tortillas, gather flowers, wash clothes and sing lullabies in this bright, English-Spanish bilingual book. --"San Francisco Ecaminer & Chronicle, " November 1998
