What does it mean to be Nuyorican?
For one curious child, the answer is everywhere.
It's in Mami switching from English to Spanish without missing a beat. It's salsa floating through an apartment window while hip-hop shakes the street below. It's café con leche and egg and cheese, dominoes and double Dutch, Puerto Rican flags dancing above New York brownstones, and family stories that stretch all the way across the sea.
Through colorful, rhythmic scenes of everyday life, Mami Says We're Nuyoricans celebrates a child growing up with Puerto Rico in her heart and New York woven into everything around her.
Warm, joyful, and full of culture, this picture book is a celebration of family, language, heritage, neighborhood, and the beautiful feeling of belonging to more than one place.
Perfect for children growing up between cultures-and for every family teaching the next generation where they come from.
