Not Far From Here by Nydia Armendia-Sánchez & Devon Holzwarth
In this beautiful picture book, two children ask Mamá to tell them a story, and she tells them about their Papá, who moved from a place not far from here where he lived in a casa with their abuelitos and spoke a different language. Learning English was hard, and being away from family was hard, and some mocked him, but some people also welcomed him, and he found a home, eventually meeting Mamá. The text is lyrical and infused with Spanish words. The illustrations are warm and cozy. A glossary of the Spanish phrases used in the book is included.
