love it!

I really like this book. I got it to read to my daughter so that she is reminded of her grandma who lives over 700 miles away in FL. I like it because I can relate to it. Although I was not born in the Caribbean islands that is where my family is from. It is a great read to enhance her development.

A "must have" for your library!

I first purchased this book for my classroom library. My kindergartners loved the illustrations and the use of Spanish mixed in with English. I used this book as a starting point for many creative writing assignments. I have given this book as gifts to many people and most recently, my two-year old gave this book to her "Abuela" for Mother's Day!

Family Favorite

We have had this book for a few years now and it is one of our favorites. The writing is simple and full of Spanish words that kids can easily relate to on an everyday level. The illustrations are bright, creative and full of wonder. Rosalba and her Abuela,(grandma), go flying through air over New York City seeing the sights from a birds eye view. As they go along, they speak a little Spanish and describe what they are seeing. It is really a wonderful way to introduce a few Spanish words and see some colorful illustrations too. Enjoy!

Beautiful, colorful detail

I love reading this to my 3-year old daughter. The pictures are so colorful and full of detail. The language and tone is so fine. The author slips in and out of the two languages, Spanish and English so easily. It is the best way to read a story. It is fantastic for my daughter's imagination. She is flying just like Rosalba, just like we all did when we were young. We also love her other book "Isla".

A well-written, beautifully illustrated story

Our class of 20 latino students appreciates having books with characters that are like them. We liked to read this story on our own and in groups.
