De Meg Medina, ganadora de la Medalla Newbery y Embajadora Nacional de Literatura Juvenil, nos llega este conmovedor homenaje a los que cuidan a los niños y entran en su mundo lleno de ternura. Me quito la manta y me trepo en su regazo. Me pongo su trenza encima de la boca como si fuera un bigote y ella se ríe. Ana no puede controlar su entusiasmo. ¡Su abuela viene a vivir con ella y su mami para siempre! Seguro que Abuela va a dejar a Ana jugar cuando quiera, en vez de meterle prisa para que se vaya la escuela, como a veces hace su vecina y niñera, la señora Mimí. Es más, como le dice su compañera de clase, ¡Ana ya no necesitará que la señora Mimí la cuide! Pero la señora Mimí sabe escuchar, y se divierten mucho juntas dando de comer a las ardillas y merendando. ¿Tal vez Ana aún no esté lista para despedirse de la señora Mimí? Meg Medina, magistral narradora, ofrece una reconfortante historia que rinde homenaje a los que cuidan a los niños y a la comunidad, así como al lugar especial que ocupan en nuestras vidas. Una historia acompañada por las cálidas y expresivas ilustraciones de Brittany Cicchese. Ana cannot contain her excitement—her abuela is coming to stay with her and Mami for always! Abuela is sure to let Ana play whenever she wants instead of rushing her off to school, like her neighbor and babysitter, señora Mimí, sometimes does. In fact, as Ana’s classmate points out, she won’t need señora Mimí to babysit at all anymore! But señora Mimí is a good listener, and they have a lot of fun together feeding the squirrels and eating snacks. Maybe Ana isn’t ready to say goodbye to señora Mimí just yet? Masterful storyteller Meg Medina shares a reassuring tale that celebrates caregivers and community and their special role in children's lives, paired with warm, expressive illustrations by Brittany Cicchese. Medina’s heartfelt story explores the unique bonds children have with nonfamilial caregivers who become chosen family. . . . A heartwarming tale about a community that comes together to raise a child. —Booklist Meg Medina is a former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and the author of the Newbery Medal winner and Kirkus Prize finalist Merci Suárez Changes Gears , as well as its sequels, Merci Suárez Can’t Dance and Merci Suárez Plays It Cool .
