Summary
Cuando al pequeño Daniel le dicen que la familia se reunirá, esto no le parece muy buena idea. Su padre siempre le cuenta las historias de sus familiares más viejos, personas que él nunca conoció por lo que no le llama la atención en lo absoluto. Sin embargo cuando llega a la reunión, todos están reunidos en distintas partes, en mesas comiendo comida típica, junto a los mariachis que tocan las rancheras, o los niños que juegan alrededor de la piñata. Así se va dando cuenta que las historias que tanto ha escuchado no son tan desagradables, y que los González en realidad tiene mucho que enseñar a los nuevos integrantes. Una historia que permite reconocer el verdadero valor de la familia y así crear lazos más afectuosos. El texto se acompaña de ilustraciones que van mostrando las distintas actividades que la familia va haciendo en la reunión. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
School Library Journal Review
Gr 1-4 In this bilingual picture book, Daniel Gonzalez goes to a family reunion in San Antonio, TX, expecting it to be dull. Instead, he finds himself enjoying a Tex-Mex feast, making a new friend in a cousin his age, and learning the importance of family. Spanish words and phrases are scattered throughout the English text, and vice versa. With rounded lines and muted tones, the realistically rendered, mixed-media illustrations accentuate the lighthearted mood of the story. Although his age is not mentioned, Daniel appears to be nine or ten-years-old. Since the gentle narrative lends itself to reading aloud, and the attractive, soft-focused illustrations are large enough for group viewing, this is a solid choice for storytime and classroom sharing.
