Tia Sofia and the Giant Tortilla

32 pp. | Gibbs Smith | August, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781423667681 $18.99
(3) K-3 Mi Hermosa Familia/My Beautiful Family series. Illustrated by Carlos Vélez Aguilera. After helping their artsy Tía Sofia make tortillas, siblings Luna and Sol play with a giant one, turning it into a cape, a telescope, a blanket, and finally a place mat to honor the memory of their beloved grandfather. With engaging first-person narration and richly colored mixed-media illustrations, the book celebrates the joy of food, imagination, and connection. A tortilla recipe, seek-and-find, and a glossary cap this heartwarming tale of everyday magic and the enduring love passed through family traditions.
