How to eat a mango
Paola Santos (Author), Juliana Perdomo (Illustrator)
"Carmencita doesn't want to help Abuelita pick mangoes. She doesn't even like them! They're messy, they stick in her teeth, and when they rot, she has to clean them up. But Abuelita says mangoes are special. Eating them properly takes five steps--and all five senses. With each one, they savor the gifts Mamá Earth gives, and soak in loving memories of family and culture. When she finally takes a bite, Carmencita understands. A mango is more than just a fruit...and she's ready for another! Inspired by debut author Paola Santos's childhood in Venezuela, with Juliana Perdomo's delicious illustrations, How to Eat a Mango is as warm and sweet as a juicy treat in the sun"--Front flap of jacket
