Sing, Don't Cry by Angela Dominguez- OPTIONAL

Sing, Don’t Cry by Angela Dominguez, PICTURE BOOK. Henry Holt and Company, 2017. $18. 9781627798396

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL- OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

An Abuelo comes to visit his family each year and shares his wisdom about staying optimistic. Instead of crying he says to sing. This will gladden your heart and things won’t seem so bad. Singing will attract others to you as well.

This book has very little text and the reader will have to make a lot of assumptions about the pictures that are illustrated. It has a good message of positivity and there is an author’s note about how the inspiration for the book is from her actual Abuelo.
