Arrorró, mi niño

Review
By Booklist

The bright, beautiful oil-wash illustrations for these 15 lullabies, nursery rhymes, and finger-play games reflect the diversity of the Latino experience. The settings vary — from city streets to picking fields; from cozy bedroom to library, school, art gallery, and grocery store — and the caregivers who soothe the children in the pictures include mother, father, sibling, and grandparent… A native of Puerto Rico, editor Delacre lives in Maryland, and she draws the songs from 14 different countries to show and tell about children who grow up “learning and loving two cultures and two languages.”… [I]n the best of them, the rhythm and poetry travel with music and fun.
