Notes

Description
In this beautifully constructed book, the topic of traditional natural medicine takes center stage as a young boy, Aaron, spends the weekend at his grandparents’ house, where he learns many remedies from his healer grandfather, Tata Gus. With great sensitivity, author Roni Capin 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. Readers join the pair for a day of healing in which several members of Aaron’s extended Latino family and community come knocking at Tata and Nana’s door in search of a remedy to cure a sudden ailment. Each community member is received attentively and given generous care, and may even enjoy a special treat of empanadas prepared by Aaron’s grandmother, Nana. With stunningly realistic artwork done by renowned Mexican artist Antonio L. Castro, My Tata’s Remedies offers an absorbing glimpse into a busy and productive day at Tata and Nana’s house. The book lends itself to classroom discussion of traditional medicine, family traditions, and the importance of community. A detailed glossary of medicinal herbs and remedies provides readers with the opportunity to delve more deeply into learning more about the healing properties of each item mentioned in the book.
