Papi's Gift
2007. Boyds Mills Press. Illustrated by René King Moreno
True to a small Latina girl’s experience, this moving picture book tells the migrant labor story from the viewpoint of the child left behind. When drought dries up the crops, Papi must leave the family’s village to pick fruit in faraway California, and Graciela misses him all the time. The realistic story has suspense and hope–and surprise–but no false comfort, as the girl waits and waits for Papi’s return. With occasional Spanish expressions, the particulars root the experience in one child’s yearning, even while they speak of universals.
