About the Book



A family gathers for their Sunday menudo tradition, and through playful mishaps and counting in Spanish and English, they learn the value of teamwork and love.



Book Synopsis



Paletero Man meets Besos for Baby in this Spanish-English counting picture book that's bursting with all the love, laughter, and chaos found at a large family gathering.

Sundays are the best: that's when a little girl and her mamá, abuelitos, tías and primos all gather together to eat yummy menudo, a traditional Mexican soup. But when playtime with the cousins and family dogs gets out of hand and Abuelito Esteban's special bowl of menudo breaks, everyone has to pitch in to make a new batch! Through all the menudo mishaps and sneaky snacks for perritos with wagging tails, young readers will giggle as they learn to count from 1-15 in Spanish and English. Bonus materials at the back of the book include a glossary of Spanish words, a note from the author, and tips for hosting your very own Menudo Sunday!



Review Quotes




"Águila mixes in Spanish words as she whips up a delicious story of family and food . . . Meza's illustrations are especially notable for their strong sense of place; small touches, such as the mismatched chairs and vibrantly painted ofrenda (a Día de los Muertos altar), make this tale truly feel like Sunday with los abuelos in a Mexican American home. As warm and welcoming as menudo con la familia." --Kirkus
