A trip to the island without leaving my home

Through the vivid illistrations, the reader is able to travel on an imaginary jounrney with Estrellita as she describe her nostalgic homeland. One is able to feel many emotions such as warmth and love. Estrellita's love for her family, culture, and homeland is clearly shown. My 3 year old absolutely loves this book. We are trying to improve our spanish and this book makes learning so enjoyable and pleasurable. I must admitt that I have read it a few times just for fun!

Great Rhymes! Makes you miss your island.

Estrellita was a great book . It was beautifully written and illustrated. I makes you think of your island (Puerto Rico). We just had the pleasure of meeting the author and we are going to buy the book for home.
