The heart of mi familia

By Carrie Lara, PsyD, Illustrated by Christine Battuz ( Magination Press ~ 2020)

A young girl has her mother who was born in the United States and her father was born in Central America, and in her home two worlds become one. Following the girl as she works with her abuela (grandma in Spanish) and grandma to create a wonderful birthday for her brother that celebrates her multicultural family and honors both sides and all generations of her family.

少女にはアメリカ合衆国生まれの母親と中央アメリカ生まれの父親がいて、家の中では二つの世界が融合していた。彼女はアブエラ(スペイン語の祖母)と祖母の助けを得て、弟の誕生日を祝う準備をしたが、誕生日の集まりは正に二つの異なる文化が世代を超えて融合する祝福に満ちていた。
