Abuelo and Opa Make Music
When both grandpas, Abuelo and Opa, visit at the same time, they can’t understand each other’s language, and there is a lot of silence.
The grandson’s clever thinking helps find a way for everyone to share the day together as two cultures become one family. This unique book includes a bonus fold-out and a note from the author sharing the true story of his own family.

Reviews
School Library Journal
“Members of multiracial families may have more in common than expected . . . . Even more, the boy’s problem-solving abilities offer an opportunity to talk to children about situations that trouble them, and possible solutions. A thoughtful picture book for storytime and one-on-one reads.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“Genhart pulls from his own childhood growing up in bicultural family in this cheery picture book, which tells of a young boy and how the accordion brought his family together . . . . Music is the universal language . . . . Great for reading aloud and featuring bright, energetic illustrations, this endearing story supports diversity and multicultural inclusion.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“This is a reassuring story, emphasizing that though we may be different we can find common ground, an especially important message for multiracial/multiethnic children who can often feel pulled between competing identities.”—Kirkus Reviews
