>> And I want to end my--I decided also in
this collection that celebrates Los Angeles.

00:00:08.396 --> 00:00:12.286 align:middle
It's called Los Ángeles andan
en bicicleta, Angels ride bikes.

00:00:12.316 --> 00:00:16.516 align:middle
And, in this case, the artist decided to
take photos of her family because she said

00:00:16.516 --> 00:00:22.046 align:middle
that there were no - In picture books that
she had when she was a kid in California,

00:00:22.336 --> 00:00:27.306 align:middle
she never saw people that looked like her
father or her mother or her uncles or her aunt

00:00:27.726 --> 00:00:31.966 align:middle
and that's why, you know, you have here
this cachetón, gordito, bigotón, you know?

00:00:32.286 --> 00:00:34.236 align:middle
That's ok, to have it in a picture book.

00:00:34.906 --> 00:00:40.496 align:middle
And this is her aunt y su sobrino, the nephew.

00:00:40.496 --> 00:00:42.956 align:middle
The poem goes My grandma is an angel.

00:00:43.746 --> 00:00:45.906 align:middle
I learned Spanish from my grandma.

00:00:46.596 --> 00:00:51.276 align:middle
Mijito, don't cry, she told me when my parents
would leave to work at the fish canneries,

00:00:51.556 --> 00:00:53.416 align:middle
and I would fall asleep in her arms once again.

00:00:53.906 --> 00:00:57.386 align:middle
When she said niño barrigón, my
little chubby boy, she laughed.

00:00:57.586 --> 00:01:02.486 align:middle
With my grandma, I learned to count clouds,
to recognize mint leaves in flowerpots.

00:01:02.826 --> 00:01:08.356 align:middle
My grandma wore moons on her dress,
Mexican mountains, desert, oceans.

00:01:08.586 --> 00:01:12.856 align:middle
In her eyes, her breaths, her voice,
I see them, touch them, smell them.

00:01:12.956 --> 00:01:16.616 align:middle
One day I was told she went far
away but still I feel her next

00:01:16.616 --> 00:01:19.226 align:middle
to me whispering in my ear "mijito".

00:01:19.706 --> 00:01:20.256 align:middle
