Dorros, A. (2008). Papa and me. N.Y., N.Y.: Harper
Collins.
Summary:
This is a beautiful story about a father and son who speak two languages but are able to understand each other through the power of love. The story begins with the son waking up his father so that they can begin to enjoy the day together. They eat pancakes, go to the park and jump in puddles. The son climbs a tree and draws pictures in the sand while the father shares in his son's happiness. Later, they both head to the grandparents home to visit. It is the perfect end a perfect day.
Illustrations:
This is a well- illustrated book because its rich colors compliment the mood of the characters. Red, yellow, blue and green give warmth to the story. The reader not only reads of the love between father and son but sees it through the illustrators choice in colors. The details of the illustrations also emphasize the latin background of the characters.
