<b><font size="4">I'm Just Like My Dad/ (flip book over) I'm Just Like My Mom by Jorge Ramos:</font></b><br>
<b>From School Library Journal</b> PreSchool-Grade 1—Once children begin to become aware of their family relationships, it is comforting to look for the ways in which they are like their parents and other relatives. Ramos has addressed this idea in a book that
is divided into two parts; children can read about either a girl and her mom or turn it over and meet a father/son pair. The examples of similarities are simple and broad (a furrow in the brow, liking to play soccer), but they will help children draw parallels
in their own families. Each straightforward sentence is presented in both English and Spanish. Gutiérrez's cartoon illustrations are friendly, warm, and energetic. A quirky dog appears on most spreads, and its antics add humor to the illustrations. The page
instructing youngsters to flip the volume over shows the family members holding hands in a circle, underscoring their love and unity. This gentle picture book will open up conversations in many families.—<i>Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ</i>

</h1>
>From School Library Journal Grade 2-4–This story spills over with life, laughter, food, and music. A girl arrives at her aunts' house to spend a Saturday. She's met at the door by Tía Dulce, who soon has her in the kitchen up to her elbows in flour, making
meat empanadas. As the pastries go into the oven, glamorous Tía Rosa whisks Isabel upstairs for a beauty and dress-up session. Fully made up and attired in colorful clothing, jewelry, and Rosa's high heels, the girl is ready for some dancing. It's a good thing
that her energetic Tía Clara gets home just in time to give her some salsa lessons. The party leads up to the appearance of the empanadas hot out of the oven. The full-page illustrations are bold and vibrant, depicting beautiful Latinas enjoying one another's
company. Recipes for <i>empanadas de carne</i> and <i>picadillo</i> are appended. (with an emphasis on family traditions and togetherness.)<br>
<b>Both books are bilingual.</b><br>

captures the reality of many biracial children in an upbeat and endearing spitfire of a character. Marisol doesn’t see anything weird with mismatches: green polka dots and purple stripes, peanut butter and jelly burritos, or brown skin and red hair are pretty
cool in her eyes. When Marisol tries to match, she finds that things are confusing and boring. Thanks to an intuitive teacher, she regains confidence in her unique viewpoint and look. This bilingual story is charmingly illustrated and told through a very realistic
child narrator.</span></p>

<u>The Tooth Fairy Meets El Raton Perez</u> is one of my favorite Latino-oriented picture books. When Miguelito puts his tooth under his pillow and falls asleep, two magical creatures appear in his room to lay claim to his tooth. The Tooth Fairy asserts ownership
because Miguelito is in the United States, but El Raton Perez, the tooth-collecting mouse who collects teeth in Latin America and Spain, defends ownership due to family tradition. Thankfully, they both work out a compromise. This is a fun and unique way of
presenting a rite of passage in many cultures.</span></p>

<p style="line-height:140%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; line-height:140%; font-family:"Georgia","serif"; color:black">What can you do with a rebozo (a long scarf)? You can accessorize a dress, play hide and seek, keep a grandmother or baby brother warm,
use it as a blindford while attempting to burst a pinata…so many things! Not only is this is celebration of a close-knit family, but it’s also a tribute to creativity. (See also
<u>What Can You Do With a Paleta?</u> by the same author.)</span></p>
