My Tata’s Remedies

"So many cultural treasures are dependent on word-of-mouth transmission, and this story encourages grandparents to lovingly pass on their knowledge to eager grandchildren and family members."

"Remarkable, realistic watercolor illustrations reveal the emotions felt by the sufferers, while the bilingual text conveys Tata's expertise in alleviating their discomfort and in teaching his grandson about natural remedies. . . An illuminating glimpse into a tradition not often addressed in children's literature."

"A lovely intergenerational story. . . The bilingual text is strong, and the story will appeal to those looking for loving intergenerational relationships and Latino family traditions."

"In this beautifully constructed book, the topic of traditional natural medicine takes center stage . . . Roni Rivera-Ashford portrays a loving intergenerational relationship between Tata Gus and Aaron, one in which wisdom and knowledge are patiently passed down from grandfather to grandson."Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs
