MamaProvi

This is a chaming, multi-ethnic story that reflects experiences of generations of immigrants.

My Favorite!

This book nourishes the neighborly kindnesses of multicultural apartment tenents. Not only are Rob Roth's watercolors warm and inviting but the mention of the food made me wish I knew those people. Rosa-Casanova sprinkles Spanish words like, "en un dos por tres", which means "lickedy-split" makes me want to polish up my Spanish again. This book promotes acceptance in a subtle way and is very satisfying.
