For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Martina Has Too Many Tías” by Emma Otheguy; illustrated by Sara Palacios

For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Martina Has Too Many Tías” by Emma Otheguy; illustrated by Sara Palacios Review by Laura Frantz, collection development librarian Martina’s tías are coming to visit. And when they come to visit … Well, let’s say, they can be A LOT! Often, it means loud music, flashy fashions and laughter that booms and bellows. Martina just wants some peace and quiet. When she slips away, she stumbles into a magical place that offers much needed tranquility. And when it is time to come back, she is ready for a lively time. “Martina Has Too Many Tías” is a fresh and modern spin on the Caribbean folktale “La Cucaracha Martina.” This take by author Emma Otheguy and illustrator Sara Palacios features wonderful imagery, vibrant artwork full of rich colors, and the joys (and sometimes pains) of the love we have for family. Discover this title and many others while we highlight National Hispanic Heritage Month in our curated book rivers.
