Lucero by Yuyi Morales - HIGH

Lucero by Yuyi Morales.
PICTURE BOOK Neal Porter books (Holiday House), 2021. $19. 9780823447848 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A fawn is born in the desert and its loving mother wants it to see the world around her, to look and listen, stay safe and know she is loved. She teaches the fawn to speak up when something is unjust, to know she is not alone and to imagine her most beautiful world. 

This edition, written in Spanish, is just as beautiful and well-told. Yuyi Morales is fluent in both languages, and we loved that each book seems to have been written in English or Spanish, rather than translated from one to the other.
