Mama holds out her hand, and I run to her. Now eight feet fly! Papa and Tito spin by. Mama lifts me up and swings me high.

I really like the illustrations in this book, they are very realistic looking. There are also tons of details in the pictures so it feels like you‘re actually in the room with the characters. Overall I thought it was a cute little story.

Published in 2008 by Houghton Mifflin Co. This is a great book for showing diversity and an insight to a different culture. The plot is very very simple, so would only be suitable for very young children. The characters seem accurately portrayed.

The moment I really love in this book is when the children are peaking at their parents when they are suppose to be in bed and instead of getting upset the parents picked them up and they joined right in with the fun dancing.

published in 2008. I really love the use of color in this book. The colors make this book really happy and bright. I also love that this book is all about celebration. The parents are cleaning up at night and they are having fun and dancing around in circles! I also love the language they use in here. They use Spanish as well as english.

Some favorite picture books from that era with my kids--slightly less well known than Goodnight Moon and Snowy Day (which were also favorites), but just as good. #maybookflowers
