From the publisher:
Mencion de Honor como Libro Ilustrado en el Pura Belpre 2022 Todos los anos en Nochebuena, Rosi y su mama, su tia, su hermana y sus primos se reunen en la cocina de la abuela para preparar tamales y contar historias. Al sumergirse en los ricos recuerdos de la abuela, Rosi no solo aprende como hacer un delicioso tamal, sino tambien como hacer una vida deliciosa, llena de amor, sabor y familia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A delicious and fortifying picture book inspired by the author's family, featuring the Mexican tradition of holiday tamale-making A 2022 Pura Belpre Award Illustrator Honor Book «"What is the recipe?" I ask. Abuela laughs. "It is in my heart, Rosie. I use mis ojos, my eyes, to measure. Mis manos, my hands, to feel. Mi boca, my mouth, to taste. My abuela gave it to me, and I am giving it to you." Each year on Christmas Eve, Rosie's abuela, mama, tia, sister, and cousins all gather together in Abuela's kitchen to make tamales--cleaning corn husks, chopping onions and garlic, roasting chilis, kneading cornmeal dough, seasoning the filling, and folding it all--and tell stories. Rosie learns from her abuela not only how to make a delicious tamale, but how to make a delicious life, one filled with love, plenty of spice, and family.
