A Antonio le encantan las palabras porque pueden expresar sentimientos como el amor, el orgullo o el dolor. Con el Día de las Madres acercándose, busca las palabras perfectas para honrar tanto a su madre como a la pareja de ella, Leslie, una artista cuya estatura y overol manchado de pintura la convierten en blanco de burlas de sus compañeros. Dividido entre la lealtad y la vergüenza, Antonio debe decidir si—y cómo—celebrar a las dos mujeres que dan forma a su vida. Este tierno libro bilingüe sobre una familia no tradicional conmueve a quienes han luchado por defender a quienes aman.

English Translation

Antonio's Card

Antonio loves words because they can express feelings like love, pride, or hurt. With Mother's Day approaching, he searches for the right words to honor both his mother and her partner, Leslie, an artist whose height and paint-splattered overalls make her an easy target for his classmates' teasing. Torn between loyalty and embarrassment, Antonio must decide whether—and how—to celebrate the two women who shape his life. This tender bilingual picture book about a nontraditional family speaks to anyone who has struggled to stand up for those they love.
