pick“Claudia Guadalupe Martínez‘s gentle, poetic text offers just enough language to anchor the reader emotionally and historically within the journey. By telling the story through a child‘s voice, she brings a subtle intimacy to a moment of historical trauma that turns the political into something deeply personal.”

I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!

pickI really enjoyed this story of a kiddo stuck between two worlds in all sorts of ways (geographically, linguistically, between family members, etc.). I only wish there‘d been more resolution with their younger brother, that storyline ended on a sour note, and the entire story ended rather abruptly for my taste. However, I can still appreciate the growth Ave experienced throughout the book.
pickJust purchased these books to share with incoming Kindy parents at an orientation session next term. Love my job (most of the time 😉) 🥰.
I wish there were a
vaccine to eradicate
you from my being.

On Monday morning, my dad moved out of our house and into an apartment. He said he won't be far. Just a bus ride away. Down the street, past the park and through the tunnel.
This book is very frank about the day-to-day life of a kid whose parents have split custody. It starts with the dad moving out of the house and into the apartment. It addresses the change in routine that may take place.
