(3) PS Illustrated by Zara González Hoang. "¡Hi! Soy Lucía. Bienvenidos a mi casa. I live here with my big, loud, beautiful familia." Lucía takes readers on a tour in Spanglish of her house and introduces her multi-generational Latinx family. Her narration begins at the front door ("Esta es la puerta") where her abuela waves to neighbors and her relatives enter for visits. In the kitchen, Mamá performs such milagros as ropa vieja and Abuelo prepares turkey a la española on holidays. Spanish speakers will feel welcomed by this warm family story; non-Spanish-speakers should be able to follow the story from clues in the cheerful illustrations, which stay true to the text's child's-eye perspective.
