(3) K-3 Illustrated by Margarita Sada. A young girl makes guacamole for her family in this fanciful book whose narrative is both poetry and a recipe. A liberal use of images and similes make Argueta's text sing. Sada's imaginative oil and digitally modified illustrations change perspective as the story progresses, showing children playing on enormous avocados and showering with cilantro in the kitchen sink.
