"This is the kitchen, warm and
sunny,
"With tortillas, hot chocolate, and
everything yummy,
"Here in the
place where you live."
James Luna's new bilingual book uses rhymes and
refrains to celebrate a love of home, of neighborhood and of family.
With colorful illustrations by Thelma Muriada, this
book moves from the kitchen to the garden, and from school to parks delighting
in what children and families do together.
At the end of the day, Mamá and Papá hug you tight
because "You make them so glad."
"Children see themselves as members
of their community and come to the realization that that whole community shares
the place where they live. A lighthearted celebration of a child's sense of
place and belonging." --Kirkus Reviews
