Book Synopsis

A mouth-watering picture book that celebrates the rich cultural diversity and culinary traditions of tamal-making across the Americas. Features an informative backmatter and activity created by collaborator, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino!

Join Liliana, Yasmany, Tomás, Eduardo, Isabela, and Valeria as they help their families prepare delicious tamales from Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Colombia! Each family has their own recipe for this special dish, but they all share ingredients, and come together for one big tamalada.

Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino, this is a delightful celebration of family, culture, and tamales.
