my Mami Is A Carpenter. My Papi Is A Nurse. With These Words We Are Welcomed Into A Latino Boy's Bicultural, Progressive, And Vibrant Neighborhood. With A Simple And Effective Premise, We Accompany Quinto As He Introduces The Reader To A Variety Of People That Make Up His Community. As We Might Expect, We Meet A Baker, A Grocery Store Owner, A Mail Carrier And A Teacher. Unexpectedly, However, We Meet Quinto's Abuela (grandma) Who Drives A Big Truck, His Tia (aunt) Who Is A Muralist, His Tio (uncle) Who Teachers Dance, And Cousin Tita Who Attends Clown School. The Unique Contribution That Author Ina Cumpiano Gives To The World Of A Growing Number Of Spanish/english Children's Books (the Text Is Paralleled In English And Spanish), Is A Depiction Of An Interconnected Community Based On Occupations And Economic Exchange (the Baker Sells To The Grocery Store Owner; The Seamstress Sews A Gown For A Bride) But Also On Relationships (mr. Gomez Is A Teacher And A Neighbor Who's Wife Is A Crossing Guard; Guillermo Is The Mailman But Also Engaged To Sonia, His Fiancee). The Illustrator, Jose Ramirez, Matches Cumpaino's Effort Stroke For Stroke As He Creates Inviting And Colorful Images Full Of Playfulness And Warmth. 2005, Children's Book Press, Ages 4 To 8.
