La abuela de Esperanza, es sin rival en su talento para tejer tapizes tradicionales maya. Ha compartido su don con su nieta, y ahora planean vender sus productos en el mercado. Sin embargo, abuela teme que la mancha de nacimiento que tiene en la cara espante a clientes. Así que Esperanza tiene que lidiar con las calles de la ciudad y encontrar compradores sola.

Traducido de Abuela’s Weave, El tapiz de Abuela es una historia conmovedora sobre crecimiento personal y orgullo familiar.

Esperanza’s Abuela, her grandmother, is unmatched in her skill in weaving traditional Mayan tapestries. She has shared her gift with her granddaughter, and now they plan to sell their goods at the market. However, Abuela fears the birthmark on her face may scare customers away. So Esperanza must cope with the city streets and find buyers alone.

Translated from Abuela’s Weave, El tapiz de Abuela is a touching story of personal growth and family pride.
