Description

"Vamanos," Mama says. "Let's go!" Together we garden and bake. We bike and paint a mural, colorful and bright. I do some things sola, all by myself. Mama says, "!Perfecto!"- just perfect! With Mama, I feel like a girasol, a sunflower, tall and proud. For a bilingual girl and her mama, a loving bond is about being together . . . and independent. Arthur Dorros's skillful and subtle blend of English and Spanish narrative, illustrated with bold, striking paintings by award-winning artist Rudy Gutierrez, offers readers a poignant reminder that every day with Mama is dulce-sweet!
