4.0

This is an emotionally written story that documents the light and dark moments and experiences Rex Ogle spent with his Abuela growing up. It is written in verse, and the poems are full of Ogle’s heart. These moments were written into this book to save the memories Ogle shared with his Abuela as she is now battling dementia. With the mix of the versed format along with the relatable, real, and raw stories, your students will discover empathy, explore what it means to preserve moments with loved ones (both good and bad), and learn how the reflection process can also assist in helping them process unexpected and potentially unwanted change in the future.
