About this book

Español

El río es mi mar (The River Is My Ocean)

Cada sábado por la tarde, una niña acompaña a su abuela desde su hogar en Harlem hasta el río Hudson para visitar a las Yamaya, sirenas que guardan la maravilla infantil y la memoria de quienes han pasado por sus aguas. Aunque la abuela extraña el océano de Puerto Rico, en el río encuentra consuelo entre espíritus ancestrales y el amor familiar. Este poético libro ilustrado celebra la herencia afrolatina, los lazos entre generaciones y el río que ha recibido a millones de nuevos estadounidenses a lo largo del tiempo.

English

The River Is My Ocean

On Saturday afternoons, a girl and her grandmother leave their Harlem home and walk to the Hudson River to visit the Yemaya, mermaid spirits who hold the wonder of childhood and the memories of everyone who has passed through their waters. Every other day, Grandma misses the ocean she knew in Puerto Rico, but by the river she finds comfort in ancestral spirits and family love. A lyrical picture book celebrating Afro-Latino heritage, intergenerational bonds, and the river that has welcomed generations of new Americans to its shores.
