Maria: Goodreads Review
Really sweet book about cooking traditional food with grandma. Love the text in English and Spanish. Would be perfect to read with bilingual kiddos
Lacy: Goodreads Review
Wonderful story about traditions and explaining heritage of Puerto Rico through a recipe. This is a book that is bilingual which I love. It is educational for language learning. The illustrations are beautiful.I love that this story captures a bond between a grandson and grandmother.
Windy: Goodreads
It was an enjoyable read once getting to know the main character and his family and especially once he began to put his plan in action.
