Written in English and Spanish, this companion to Reiser's "Cherry Pies and Lullabies" tells another story of family love--this time within a Costa Rican culture. Extraordinary folk-art paintings by "Corazones Valientes", an organization of Costa Rican women artists, accompany the tale. Full color.

This bilingual children's book, Spanish/English, is a fun way to introduce simple words and phrases in both languages and is sure to be a welcome resource at home and in schools and libraries.

From great-grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, four generations embrace family tradition in slightly different ways. But one thing never changes: the love they have for one another.

De la bisabuela a la abuela a la mamá a la hija, cuatro generaciones adoptan las tradiciones familiares de maneras ligeramente diferentes. Sólo una cosa nunca cambia: el amor que se tienen.

As a five-star review from a parent put it: "It's great for kids who want to know Spanish and English!"
