Review by Ariadna Sánchez
Santiago Stays is the latest book of
award-winning author and illustrator Angela Dominguez. Dominguez’s story is
charming, delicate, and easy to read. Her narrative is about a young boy who
tries to play with his French bulldog Santiago. The boy offers Santiago diverse
colorful options like playing with a toy, going for a walk, and even eating a
hamburger to captivate his attention. What the boy didn’t know is that Santiago
had a very important job to do that’s why he could not play with him. When the
boy lost control and became loud, his little sister woke up with a cry. As soon
as she saw Santiago, she smiled. The boy now realized why nothing made Santiago
leave his post. “Good Boy, Santiago” the boy exclaimed.
With engaging and simple text, young readers and listeners
enthrall in the artwork illustrations created in pencil, ink, marker, and
tissue paper.
Santiago Stays is a highly recommended book
especially for pet lovers and families who enjoy great stories. Reading gives
you wings! Visit your local library to emerge in the fascinating world of
books.

Thanks for introducing us SANTIAGO STAYS by Angela Dominguez. It was great to see the book, page by page, in the video. I wonder if any of your kid books, Angela, is set in Mexico. Best wishes with all your books.
