Review Quotes




"Norman's upbeat tale shows how a sad event can be turned into a community project and a source of happiness. It's a love letter to trees, to reading, and to the librarians who inspire others to learn and grow. Gómez's round-eyed, round-headed characters are endearing... A tender tribute to libraries and librarians." -- Kirkus Reviews

"A sweet story about the power of building community and creativity around literacy... . Driving home the importance of community are the compelling illustrations--strong cartoon faces, in a digital style, with broad shapes--represent individuals of all abilities and ethnicities. A story teaching the valuable lesson of making lemons out of lemonade. -- School Library Journal

"Abuela's Library is a great book pick for the young bookworms and a reminder of librarians' powerful influence over children's love of reading." -- Dominican Writers
