About this book

Español

Mis días con Papá

Este dulce libro ilustrado bilingüe sigue a un niño y a su padre, que se queda en casa y lo cuida mientras su madre va a trabajar al puerto, "donde enormes barcos de carga van y vienen todos los días". ¡Ella supervisa los contenedores que dan la vuelta al mundo! El niño relata sus días pasando tiempo con su padre, desde "cuando el sol empieza a llenar la habitación de luz", hasta desayunar, cepillarse los dientes y hablar con sus abuelos que viven en un país diferente. Su momento favorito del día es cuando juega con sus dinosaurios y su amigo Tato, un gato de peluche que lo acompaña en todas sus aventuras. Cuando mamá llega a casa, toda la familia va al parque. Después de cenar, se va a la cama y piensa en los barcos del trabajo de su madre, sus dinosaurios y sus abuelos. Pronto se queda dormido, abrazado a su gatito especial. En este libro ilustrado bilingüe, brillantemente ilustrado por Claudia Delgadillo, los niños pequeños se identificarán con la familia y sus rutinas diarias, mientras que los inmigrantes se verán a sí mismos mientras se adaptan a la vida lejos de sus parientes. Y los niños verán que los roles de hombres y mujeres son fluidos: los papás pueden ser padres amorosos a cargo del bienestar de sus hijos y las mamás pueden ir a la oficina todos los días, o viceversa.

English

Spending Time with Dad

This sweet bilingual picture book follows a boy and his stay-at-home dad, who takes care of him while his mom goes to work at the port, “where huge cargo ships come and go every day.” She oversees the containers that go around the world! The boy recounts his days spending time with his father, from “when the sun starts filling the room with light,” to eating breakfast, brushing his teeth and talking to his grandparents who live in a different country. His favorite time of the day is when he gets to play with his dinosaurs and his friend Tato, a stuffed cat who joins him on all his adventures. When Mom comes home, the whole family goes to the park. After dinner, he goes to bed and thinks about the ships from his mom’s work, his dinosaurs and his grandparents. Soon he falls asleep, hugging his special kitty. In this bilingual picture book brightly illustrated by Claudia Delgadillo, young children will relate to the family and its daily routines while immigrants will see themselves as they adjust to life far away from relatives. And children will see that the roles of men and women are fluid; dads can be loving fathers in charge of their kids’ well-being and moms can go to the office every day—or vice versa.
