Illustrated by
Violeta Encarnación.
After reminiscing about good times “when Mami was here,” Giselle and Papi create new dreams of their own, embarking on fantastical journeys to a city run by animals, a concert on the moon, and more. The illustrations blend surrealist elements, contrasting colors, and dynamic lines, effectively capturing the thrills and emotional depth of the whimsical adventures, while the text celebrates the power of imagination and memory. A beautiful, imaginative, vibrant tribute to love, family, and resilience.
