PreS-Gr 1—Breathtaking use of light illuminates this picture book about a young girl and her grandfather, written by Xelena González and illustrated by Adriana M. Garcia. As they take in the gardens and the world around them, they see the circles that life travels in. Striking animated colors and a deeply moving score make this adaptation of the Pura Belpré award-winning story a must-see. An informative author's note on her family's culture and customs adds important background to the story. González narrates beautifully, adding depth and emotion to the tale.
