About this title

Review:

This beautifully illustrated book for children tells a warm, family story in both English and Spanish, thanks to the special vision of Arte Publico Press. Although Mama stands as expert on the creation of a delicious soup/caldo that represents the ultimate in comfort food (it stops sniffles, cures stomach aches, tired feet, or backaches!), the whole family participates--and appreciates. Papa takes the children to buy tortillas, and the whole event turns into a fiesta. The book is excellent for children in families that know the importance of bilingual skills and for those families that know the importance of togetherness.
