Two Chilies Dos Chiles Julianna Maya Cruz

Julianna had been pestering her grandpa, Julian, to teach her how to make their family's special New Mexico green chile, but now that he is finally ready to what she needs most is his help with her social studies project. When he suggests that they can do both at the same time, Julianna is skeptical. "But how are you going to tell me about why our family came to Riverside and make chili at the same time?" "Making really good chile is a lot like telling a good story." Follow Julianna as she spends the day with Grandpa Julian, learning about her family's history -- and the secret ingredient to their version of New Mexico Green Chile -- along the way.
