    Spanish Description

    Mama and Papa Have a Store

    Una nina nos invita a pasar un dia en la tienda china que sus padres tienen en la Ciudad de Guatemala. Desde el clip, clop de la mula del lechero al amanecer hasta el sonido del abaco de su papa por la noche, la tienda se llena de telas, hilos y botones llegados de China, y de voces en espanol, chino y maya. Los clientes mayas eligen hilos verde loro y amarillo mango, los padres recuerdan la patria que dejaron por la guerra y los hermanos inventan juegos en la azotea. Texto lirico e ilustraciones entranables; Honor Pura Belpre.

    About the Book

    A young girl guides readers through one day in her parents' Chinese store in Guatemala City. From the clip-clop of the milkman's mule at dawn to the clack of her father's abacus at night, the shop brims with cloth, thread, and buttons from China, and with voices speaking Spanish, Chinese, and Mayan. Mayan customers choose threads in parrot green and mango yellow, her parents recall the homeland they fled during war, and the children invent games on the rooftop. Lyrical text and warm art, drawn from the author's own childhood, earned a Pura Belpre Illustrator Honor.
