BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Every summer, Lola comes to visit from the Philippines, and now the summer is full of special sights and smells that happen because Lola is here! The things she cooks, the places they go together, even the regular smells and tastes of summer are better because of Lola.
Beautifully illustrated in pastels, I even loved the end papers. Cassava cake, kalamansi pie and lumpia, as well as a fresh can of tennis balls, sun screen and the smell of the beach, I loved Lola's visit, too. So sensory and magical. For a child with these cultural connections, this is an absolute must, but other readers, like me, can make plenty of connections and enjoy this wonderful summer, too.
