STARRED REVIEW. "A sweet family tale that never turns saccharine … Esau Andrade Valencia contributes highly saturated paintings that combine a folk aesthetic with magical realism … This book overflows with affection—and you can never have too much of that."— Kirkus Reviews "Hayes balances humor with sentiment, and abundance with a concern for privation in a way that imbues the notion of harvest with a sense of real value … Perfect for readers of either language, or for language learners."— The New York Times "Children will enjoy the back and forth and will laugh at Mamá's predicament … Culturally relevant in its depiction of Latina characters, the book makes an excellent read-aloud to a broad audience.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
