#DashingThruDecember Day 21: I made personalized hand #craft-ed notes marked with cutesie stickers on the 40 books I bought to be given away to family and friends this Christmas - I feel like a book deity dispensing book blessings. ✨🌟🌙 Note on the left is for the tagged book, “The Arrival.” It was our baby gay‘s 24th birthday on the 21st so I am posting late. Here‘s my review of tagged book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-1ne

An incredibly brave memoir.

This picture book published in 2018 blends vibrant colors, swirling lines, and layered textures to create a dreamlike journey of immigration, resilience, and hope. Her rich symbolic imagery complement the text, celebrating the beauty and courage to begin again.

I think this is a great book that encourages young readers to be excited about books in an imaginative way.

“Books became our language. Books became our home. Books became our lives.“

“We are two languages. We are lucha. We are resilience. We are hope.”
