An inspired adaptation of Ghost Wings by Barbara Joosse
With music composed and arranged by Dinorah Marquez
Set in Mexico amidst the monarch butterflies’ annual migration and during the Days of the Dead, Remembering Abuelita is the touching story of a little girl whose very best friend is her grandmother. But one spring, Grandmother becomes thin as smoke. When she passes, Papa shares, “When you love someone they never really leave.” But to the little girl, Grandmother seems impossibly far away. Who will sing to her? Who will chase the monsters from under her bed? Then, during the Day of the Dead celebrations, something extraordinary happens that brings Papa’s words vividly to life. This poignant message of the endurance of love and the power of memory is sure to touch your heart and encourage family conversations.
