Highlighted Reviews

"While all the animals and birds are sleeping and the stars are shining and the moon is smiling, Abuelita tucks her little grandson and two granddaughters in with kisses and wishes for sweet dreams. Bright, colorful watercolors show happy children getting ready for bed, detailing the repetitive and rhythmically lulling bilingual story...Abuelita's loving attention and gentle words bring tranquility and assurance to all as eyes close for a night of peaceful rest. This second in the new My Family/Mi Familia series brings a soothing tone to a nightly ritual universal in any language or culture."— Kirkus Reviews

"In prolific author Mora's latest, grandmother tucks in her three grandchildren, kissing them good night and reminding them that the animals, both inside and outside the house-squirrels, bunnies, birds, kitten, and dog-are sleeping already...[A] charming and tender-hearted addition to the bedtime bookshelf, and it should prove popular for both bookstores and libraries."—Criticas
