A Palace for My Mom Tanya Montas Paris

My mom works a lot. She always comes home with a beautiful smile. But I know that she is very tired. Through her words and drawings, a young girl invites readers into her humble home and introduces us to her brother Luis, her grandparents, and her mother. Her story puts a face on the experience of families with immigrant parents, while her memorable voice brings out the humor, struggle, and love of every day. No matter how different our lives might be, there is much we have in common with families of any shape or size: what helps us keep going is the care, help, and love we give each other.
