| Summary: | "A gorgeous picture book featuring a Mexican American family that's as comforting as a warm embrace--great for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and baby gifts! Every day for Luna starts and ends with Mami's apapachos--hugs that come from Mami's soul. Her warm cuddles fill Luna's heart, like stars fill the sky. They make her feel safe. They make her feel seen. But, oh no, Mami has to take a trip! What will Luna do without Mami's hugs? Maybe... apapachos can come from other people, too. Like Abue's, which makes Luna feel brave. And Daddy's, which makes her giggle. Not to mention her dog, Benito's wet nuzzle which tells her to rise and shine with a smile. It turns out even when Mami's far away, her love is all around. Apapacho love is everywhere!" -- Publisher marketing |
