Papa and Me: Multicultural Literature

Papa and Me, written by Arthur Dorros and illustrated by Rudy Gutierrez
Publisher: Rayo: An Imprint of HarperCollins Publishers

Pages: 26

Genre: Realistic Fiction, Multicultural Literature

Rating: Thumbs Up!!

As we go through this story, we share a glimps in the day of an English and Spanish speaking father and son. They wake up, eat, sing, walk and play, and finally ride the bus to see family. All of the activities listed are given in English and some Spanish.

I really liked the artistry of the illustrator, as the colorful pictures seemed to dance off the page. The father and son we almost appearing to fly through their day together and the color choice was happy/cheerful. I also appreciated the way both English and Spanish were combined in the text, to share with any reader. This book received a "Thumbs Up!!"
