Mi mami trabaja mucho

Mediante palabras y dibujos esta niña cuenta su historia. Invita a conocer sus anhelos a medida que presenta a su mami, a su hermano Luis y a sus abuelit@s. Una profunda honestidad y comprensión de la vida se deja ver cuando cuenta de su papi ausente, uno de tantos hombres que emigró a Estados Unidos dejando atrás su familia; o cuando habla de lo que desea para su amada mami. Casi se puede escuchar la dulce voz de esta esperanzada narradora.

My mom works a lot. She always comes home with a beautiful smile. But I know that she is very tired. Through her words and

drawings, a young girl invites readers into her humble home and introduces us to her brother Luis, her grandparents, and her

mother. Her story puts a face on the experience of families with immigrant parents, while her memorable voice brings

out the humor, struggle, and love of every day. No matter how different our lives might be, there is much we have in common with

families of any shape or size: what helps us keep going is the care, help, and love we give each other.
