(3) K-3 Illustrated by Raúl Colón. In this story based on her childhood, Edie Colón describes leaving Cuba and coming to America to live in the Bronx. The text is an evocative depiction of the immigrant experience from a child's perspective. Raúl Colón's distinctive stippled watercolor and pencil illustrations perfectly convey the wonder of seeing New York for the first time and the joy of family reunited.
