Celeste is heartbroken when her grandmother dies. But everything changes when a letter mysteriously comes in the mail--from Grandma! I know you miss me as much as I miss you. Dont be sad. Where there is love, there is no sadness. As letters continue to arrive from the beyond, each with a recipe of a favorite food her grandmother used to prepare, Celeste consoles herself by learning how to cook the dishes. Meanwhile, without Grandmas social security check, Celestes mom needs to get a second job to make ends meet. Celeste has to quit dance lessons, and a bully at school gloats that she will replace Celeste as the star in the upcoming recital. To top things off, her friends think that shes gone crazy; dead people cant send letters! When a final letter arrives, Celeste realizes that all the recipes combined make an entire meal: cafe con leche, guava and cheese croissants, congri, plantain chips, ropa vieja and flan. Can she really make a Cuban feast to celebrate her cherished grandmothers life? A tender story of family and friendship, Letters from Heaven / Cartas del cielo celebrates Latino traditions, especially those of the Spanish Caribbean. This entertaining novel is written in ten brief chapters for children ages 8-12 and includes six traditional Cuban recipes with easy-to-follow instructions.
