Bookroo's summary

Luis cherishes his bond with his grandfather, but when memory loss disrupts their shared activities, he faces a new challenge. As they search the neighborhood for Abuelo, Luis must find creative ways to maintain their connection. Can their love withstand the changes, or will they drift apart? This heartfelt journey explores the resilience of family ties in the face of adversity.

From the publisher

A touching story about a boy and his grandfather who enjoy a special relationship—until Abuelo starts to lose his memory. Instead of building model planes and cooking together, Luis and his father have to search the neighborhood for Abuelo, and Luis and Abuelo have to find new activities to enjoy together.
