Los Plátanos Son Amor (Plátanos Are Love) - Hardcover
by Alyssa Reynoso-Morris (Author), Mariyah Rahman (Illustrator)
Un delicioso libro ilustrado sobre las formas en que los plátanos dan forma a la cultura, la comunidad, y la familia Latina/o/x/e, contado a través de las experiencias de una niña en la cocina con su abuela.
Abuela dice, "Los plátanos son amor."Yo pensé que eran comida.
Pero Abuela dice que nos alimentan de más de una manera. Con cada explosión de los tostones, puré de mangú y chisporroteo de los maduros, una niña aprende que los plátanos son su historia, son su cultura y, lo más importante, son amor.
