Abstract

Medina's earnest, poignant words are accompanied by Sánchez's vivid, earth-toned illustrations that depict Evelyn and Daniela playing, their Afro-Latino families' affection for one another, and the energetic, youthful spirit that both girls possess. The author-illustrator of I Know the River Loves Me / Yo sé que el río me ama (2009) here offers vibrantly hued illustrations depicting diverse children mimicking trees by forming their bodies into various yoga positions. Denise and Escobar pay tribute to the legacy of librarian Pura Belpré in this vibrant picture-book biography, a glossy immigration tale of dreams coming true, with lyrical language that lends itself to being read aloud. Illus. by the author. [Extracted from the article]
