From Newbery Medalist Meg Medina, National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, comes a poignant salute to the caregivers who enter a child's tender world.
Ana cannot contain her excitement--her abuela is coming to stay with her and Mami for always! Abuela is sure to let Ana play whenever she wants instead of rushing her off to school, like her neighbor and babysitter, señora Mimí, sometimes does. In fact, as Ana's classmate points out, she won't need señora Mimí to babysit at all anymore! But señora Mimí is a good listener, and they have a lot of fun together feeding the squirrels and eating snacks. Maybe Ana isn't ready to say goodbye to señora Mimí just yet? Masterful storyteller Meg Medina shares a reassuring tale that celebrates caregivers and community and their special role in children's lives, paired with warm, expressive illustrations by Brittany Cicchese.
🍁Book Review: No More Señora Mimí by Meg Medina and illustrated by Brittany Cicchese
Welcome to my stop on the @hearourvoicestours book tour for No More Señora Mimí by Meg Medina!
This book was a sweet and touching story about being happy about beginnings and sad about endings. It is fitting that autumn is the season that this story is set. A season of transitions and emotions.
In the story the little girl, Ana, is excited that her abuela is coming to live with her and her mother. She won’t have to go to her babysitter Señora Mimí anymore because her abuela will be there to watch her. But she realizes later in the day that while she is excited for her abuela to come, she will also miss Señora Mimí.
Transitions like these happen all of the time for children. While adults may keep things moving and not think as much about these changes, they definitely affect children differently. This is a great book to read with kiddos whether they are facing a situation like Ana or are going from the babysitter to kindergarten or any similar type of situation. There is a great opportunity for young readers to create drawing about their feelings of sadness and celebration like Ana does with Señora Mimí in the book.
Happy Reading!
