La Supernina del Cilantro/Super Cilantro Girl

by Juan Felipe Herrera

La Supernina del Cilantro/Super Cilantro Girl Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What happens when a small girl suddenly starts turning green, as green as a cilantro leaf, and grows to be fifty feet tall? She becomes Super Cilantro Girl, and can overcome all obstacles, that’s what! Esmeralda Sinfronteras is the winning super-hero in this effervescent tale about a child who flies huge distances and scales tall walls in order to rescue her mom. Award-winning writer Juan Felipe Herrera taps into the wellsprings of his imagination to address and transform the concerns many first-generation children have about national borders and immigrant status. Honorio Robledo Tapia has created brilliant images and landscapes that will delight all children.

Synopsis:

In this bilingual English/Spanish story written by the award-winning author of "Calling the Doves," a girl comes to the rescue of her brother when he is detained at the U.S.-Mexico border.
