Why read it?
1 author picked Mariana and Her Familia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mariana visits her extended family in Mexico for the first time and feels overwhelmed with new sounds, faces, smells, and words that are supposed to mean family.
I think this book depicts the experience of second and third generation kids perfectly, especially as they visit their parents’ childhood home. I love the message it sends that family and love transcends language and cultural divide.
From Gabriella's list on celebrate being Latine in the US.
