Preciosa (Precious Spanish Edition)

“A sweet tale of a little boy who finds solace in his family, a puppy, and music in the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico… . The bright, digital illustrations capture the island’s vibrancy, the family’s resilience despite their hardship, and the warmth of their community. The cartoony images complement the winsome narrative, presenting the child’s fears and worries in a way that will resonate with all readers. The Puerto Rican folk song, ‘Preciosa,’ is mentioned throughout… . The latest offering by Pura Belpré Honor recipient Aponte will charm readers and remind them that home can be found in family, friends, community, pets, and even a song.” —School Library Journal
