Familia
by Lauren E. Rico

book cover


This book was great! Likely because it fell in my lap at a time when we have been digging into our family ancestry. The story focuses on a sister who is working as a fact checker at a magazine and has DNA tests done for a work project that say she is not her parents' daughter. It sends her into a deep dive trying to prove that the test was wrong, since her parents are both dead and she cannot ask them. As she delves further, she is contacted by the sister who has been searching for her since she was abducted as a child. The way these two instantly bond and fight, in my mind, further proved to me how they were cut from the same cloth. The twists come in when you finally learn the details of how the abduction happened, and who all knew and said nothing for years.

The Color Monster

Wonderful way to teach feelings through colors and fun! The Color Monster is perfect for helping toddlers understand emotions in a simple, visual way. My toddler loves monsters, so this book really clicked! We even drew our own monsters and colored them based on different feelings—it turned into a fun craft and learning activity. It’s also been great for early writing practice—my child enjoyed labeling feelings like happy, sad, and angry. A creative, engaging way to build emotional awareness and writing skills!

The Dreamer

book cover


Another young adult genre read. This one was personally driven by my love of poet, Pablo Neruda. I loved the author's interpretation of what his childhood was like (with creative liberties of course). It seems he had a very stereotypical Hispanic upbringing, where he needed to be more of a man's man, and not a writer, dreamer and collector. Seeing how he breaks the mold of what is expected of him and becoming who he is destined to be is heartwarming.

Fat Chance, Charlie Vega

book cover


This was a fun quirky kind of read. Very much a young adult style book, dealing with high school love and dealing with Charlie's personal struggle with her weight. It was interesting how the main character dealt with not only the loss of a parent, but how she dealt with the parent left behind that made her feel self conscious of her weight. I think we as women all struggle with the stereotypes of not thinking we are loved when we don't love our own bodies.
