El Tesoro de Abuelo by Patricia Dominguez

Join author Patricia Dominguez for an afternoon filled with storytelling and exploration as she releases her new book El Tesoro de Abuelo.

In the high mountains of the State of Guerrero, Mexico, lived Don Cuco, his family and grandchildren, Xochitl and Nachito. The family designed beautiful boxes from Linaloe, a lemon-scented wood. One day, Xochitl and Nachito noticed that their Tata was tired and decided to help design and make the boxes in his workshop. Two events happened that would change their lives and they discovered the Treasure of their Grandfather.
