About this title

From School Library Journal:

K-Gr 3—Camila and her mom are a perfect family. Or so it has always seemed to Camila—they enjoy each other's company, cook dinner together, and go on trips in their bus. Sometimes other kids ask Camila about her father, but she just says, "Tengo una mamá y punto" ("I've got a mom and that's it!"). Then one day, a substitute teacher gives the class a Father's Day assignment to draw their dads. When Camila tries to explain, the substitute asks her to draw the father she would like to have. This baffles Camila, who has never especially wanted one. She attempts to draw several male relatives and friends, but none of them seem like a dad. Finally she draws a picture of her mom: "The dad that I would want to have is exactly like my mom in all ways." The whimsical illustrations, the easy flow of the story, and the depiction of a happy single-parent family make this a great choice for most libraries looking to grow their Spanish picture book collections. Fassanini's translation is smooth and readable. VERDICT Much more than an issue book, this title is a wonderful option for one-on-one reading or sharing with a young school-age group.—Gesse Stark-Smith, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR
