Luis Paints the World

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Oliver Dominguez. When Dominican American boy Luis's beloved brother, Nico, joins the army "to see the world," Luis begins to paint in the neighborhood alley, creating a mural that mimics his brother's travels. As he worries that his brother will not return, his art brings the neighborhood together in a touching finale. Dominguez's sweeping full-spread illustrations skillfully evoke the tight-knit Latino community and the family's bond. Glos.
