Dear Primo: A Letter to My Cousin

32 pp. | Abrams | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-3872-4 $15.95
(3) K-3 Two cousins, one in Mexico and the other in America, write letters to each other about their everyday lives. Facing pages demonstrate how their cultural differences are far less important than their commonalities. Take the boys' favorite foods, for example: it's quesadillas for Carlitos and pizza for Charlie. Side-by-side illustrations show similar images: both boys seated, with food in hand. A clever, well-executed conceit.
