When Abuelo Worked

By Melissa Muniz

Five-year-old Melissa knows one thing for certain: her Abuelo F lix has had the most exciting jobs in the world.

He has been a talented chef, a fearless pilot, a championship boxer, a legendary baseball player, a treasure-hunting pirate, and perhaps even the mayor As Abuelo fills her evenings with incredible stories, Melissa's imagination transforms his everyday work into grand adventures.

But of all the jobs Abuelo has ever had, one has always been his favorite-taking care of Melissa.

Set against the warmth and beauty of Vieques, Puerto Rico, When Abuelo Worked is a tender celebration of grandparents, childhood imagination, family stories, and the quiet ways ordinary people become heroes in the eyes of those who love them.

Inspired by the author's own childhood, this heartfelt picture book reminds young readers that the greatest adventures are often born from love-and that they, too, can grow up to be anything they dream of becoming.
