When This World Was New

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Enrique O. Sanchez. When Danilito first arrives in New York from his unnamed Caribbean island home, he worries about school, not speaking English, and how Papa will find a job. Papa shows him the magic of snow, and his fears are eased somewhat. Although the story seems a bit simplistic, gentle acrylic illustrations capture the loving relationships of this Latino family coping with a new situation.
