Xander’s Linda Manita
“I purchased this book for my classroom and it was such a fun read. My students loved it and identified with the characters as it resembled their own family backgrounds!”
“Purchased a few copies for my families little ones and my own daughter! Everyone of them immediately gravitated to the book. My daughter specifically enjoys reading it nightly as a part of her bedtime routine! One of my baby cousins yanked the booked out of his mother’s hands. Another cousin mentioned that she’d been singing this song to her grandson since birth and was delighted to see “Linda manita” in a book with illustration. So happy there is more representation of the Latino culture in literature. Don’t think too much about it and go buy a few copies. You won’t regret it!”
Xander wakes up on a beautiful day and realizes his abuela is not in his home. His mom explains abuela lives thousands of miles away but they can connect through a video call. As mami makes breakfast, Xander chats with his abuela and enjoys singing a traditional children’s song.
Xander feels much better as he turns his hand back and forth, while his abuela sings to him. A video call connects them while a song continues to grow their bond from miles away.
Join Xander as he connects with a loved one virtually and so can you!
