This could be a good one for kids who are missing someone they don’t get to see as often anymore. It shows fond memories of that person, how they can still stay connected, and making new long distance memories together. ( )

"Rocio had a new home. But she really missed her other home..." Rocio misses her old house and her extended family, especially Abuela and her small grocery store, where piñatas hung from the ceiling. Rocio misses different foods, the sweet milky coffee Abuela made her, and "the pretty song of her language" (accompanied by a lovely illustration of Rocio being tucked in under a blanket of words and phrases in Spanish). On Rocio's birthday, her Mamá, Papá, and brother and sister sing "Las Mañanitas" and present a box from Abuela, labeled "Con mucho amor," and containing many of the things Rocio misses: a star-shaped piñata, fresh tortillas, and a framed photo of her family in front of Abuela's store. That night, Rocio blows a kiss all the way to Abuela.

Beautiful endpapers with stars of various shapes and sizes on a deep teal/cerulean background. Absolutely gorgeous illustrations throughout, including traditional woven patterns and embroidery. ( )

I think all books about a moving experience espcially migrations, refuge is important to highlight and recognize. This book reminded me of my nana in Mexico.
