REVIEWS

“Rafael López utilizes vibrant colors and applies magical realism to show that the love of reading is universal. Through a series of fanciful images, the author depicts Latino children inviting children of other cultures into their book fiesta, leading the reader on a visual journey that shows that reading sparks the imagination across all cultures and has the power to unite us.” 

– American Library Service to Children

“Gorgeous, soaring full-page illustrations are the heart and soul of this book. Rafael López’s magical artwork brings the book alive with lush colors, strong design, and diverse charming kids. A family floating in a boat listens to the father read aloud, as the son imagines himself in a pirate adventure and the daughter trailing a finger lazily in the water, imagines herself a mermaid. As darkness cloaks the earth, rooftops come unmoored from their homes and dreaming children float toward the moon, soaring with books in hand. Lovely.”
