Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Peña

4.0

The art is only okay, the text is fine. But this captures a time and a place. And perhaps more importantly an experience. This never quite says migrant workers, possibly with a father not able to be back in country. But it doesn't hide it either. And it shows a youngster shopping on foot but also being able to be responsible for a younger sibling and walking over to where you could see the see.
