About Luna - Missing Mami and Papi
Summary
I am an island girl, born and raised by my parents and grandmother, Mama Tina, in the Dominican Republic. Our family values are union, love, and respect. Mami and Papi decide to migrate to the US for a better life. When the day came to have the conversation with me, I felt confused and hurt on the idea that they were leaving, and I would stay with Mama Tina. My dream is to see my Mami and Papi again. Finally, my dream came true, and I will see them soon.
“Luna: Missing Mami and Papi” is a children’s book for ages 4 and up and includes a glossary to help children learn new Spanish words.
Jhoselin and Lillian are both Dominican writers. This is our first children's book.
