Thong and Parra joyfully capture Hispanic-American cultural elements and use rhymed couplets sprinkled with Spanish to invite young readers to find more shapes in the illustrations. The bold, textured paintings are inviting and visceral, featuring primary colors on every page. Parra masterfully creates depth in his paintings with pictures you want to touch. A helpful descriptive glossary not only defines but also explains many of the Spanish words featured in the text.
