Woot! GRACIAS • THANKS by Pat Mora is our second book this fall to get a starred review from Kirkus (a review journal certainly not known for dishing them out freely). Since it’s running later than our other fall titles, this is the first review we’ve gotten in, so we were all pretty excited this morning to read this:

And as for John Parra’s illustrations, “the flat perspectives and bright colors skillfully complement the child’s voice.” I’ve always had a particular fondness for this one:
Nice way to end the week!
