- More about The Yellow Handkerchief (El panuelo amarillo)
A young girl struggles with embarrassment and love for her Mexican abuela, who wears a yellow handkerchief that represents a language and culture that once brought her shame. Inspired by the author's personal experiences, the book is a lyrical, honest, and intimate intergenerational story about embracing who we are, where we come from, and the people who shape us.

In this poignant and personal tale from Newbery and Pura Belpré Award-winning author Donna Barba Higuera, a child grapples with a complex mix of emotions, including embarrassment and deep affection for her Mexican abuela. My abuela adorns an old yellow handkerchief that her grandmother gifted her. I don't particularly like the yellow handkerchief. When a young girl feels ashamed of her family for their perceived differences and inadvertently blames her abuela, she gradually begins to embrace and cherish the yellow handkerchief, which symbolizes a language and culture that once caused her embarrassment. Drawing inspiration from the author's own experiences and vividly brought to life by Cynthia Alonso's expressive illustrations, The Yellow Handkerchief unfolds as a lyrical, honest, and deeply intimate intergenerational story about embracing one's identity, heritage, and the influential people in our lives.
