  1. Part 1: The White Candle

    A0 Spanish · 2 min read · Free

    Grandma Zuleika is gone, but her handwriting still lives inside one heavy book. Tonight the power is out in the little house by the sea, Grandpa Lázaro's eyes are too tired to see the page, and an eight-year-old girl arrives carrying a single white candle.

  2. Part 2: Sun, Sea, Bread

    A0 Spanish · 2 min read

    Three little words — sun, sea, bread — are all Dariana can read so far. Grandma's secret page is going to need a lot more than that.

  3. Part 3: Two Small Words

    A0 Spanish · 2 min read

    Nelson sells candles, tells jokes, and today gives away something worth far more than anything on his shelf. Still, some words are written so small that only a little girl just learning her letters can reach them.

  4. Part 4: Grandma's Sweet

    A0 Spanish · 3 min read

    It's Dariana's birthday, and a page of tiny handwriting has been waiting years for exactly this day. What Grandma Zuleika left behind smells like coconut.
