This is a picture book you should take your time with, as the artwork alone deserves to be slowly studied! Yuyi Morales used mixed media (acrylics, photographs, fabrics) to create beautiful images to go along with her life journey; and this isn’t a standard biography as the text is more lyrical. She writes of immigrating to the United States from Mexico in 1994 with her infant son, making mistakes as she learns the rules of her new land, and discovering the wonder that is the public library (as everyone should, in my opinion!)- and through hours of pouring over books together, finding her own, creative voice.
