BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A young mother tells her immigration story to her baby: crossing the bridge, learning how to get along in the new country, making mistakes and finally finding a Library! Here they could share stories, and learn - reading all day if they want. Someday they will tell their own story. 

Yuyi Morales has shared, in picture book form, her own story, complete with an author's note at the end. The mixed media illustrations are beautiful and fun. I loved looking at all the different book covers in the library illustrations and I appreciate her appendix of books that inspired her.
