Praise
Praise for Angélica and la Güira By Angie Cruz; Illustrated by Luz Batista:
★ “This delightful and meaningful read offers young readers a powerful glimpse into cultural identity, family bonds, and the power of music to bring communal joy and connect to one’s heritage.”
— Booklist, starred review
★Cruz’s lyrical and heartfelt words and Batista’s warm and emotive illustrations truly encapsulate intergenerational and transnational connections between Dominicans—aquí y allá (here and there)… With countless uses and a resonant story, purchase this for all picture book collections.
—School Library Journal, starred review
“Heartwarming themes of familial love and heritage resonate throughout, and Angélica is a resilient and empathetic protagonist; readers will admire her persistence as she searches for belonging. Rainbow-hued swirls emanate from the güira, infusing Batista’s orderly scenes with energy; use of onomatopoeia gives the text an enjoyably rhythmic quality. A melodic tribute to the power of music.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Batista’s digitally created art blends vivid, bright colors and fluid imagery that pairs well with Cruz’s uplifting text.”
— Publishers Weekly
