From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1—Once children begin to become aware of their family relationships, it is comforting to look for the ways in which they are like their parents and other relatives. Ramos has addressed this idea in a book that is divided into two parts; children can read about either a girl and her mom or turn it over and meet a father/son pair. The examples of similarities are simple and broad (a furrow in the brow, liking to play soccer), but they will help children draw parallels in their own families. Each straightforward sentence is presented in both English and Spanish. Gutiérrez's cartoon illustrations are friendly, warm, and energetic. A quirky dog appears on most spreads, and its antics add humor to the illustrations. The page instructing youngsters to flip the volume over shows the family members holding hands in a circle, underscoring their love and unity. This gentle picture book will open up conversations in many families.—Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ
