"Yesenia takes readers on a sensory and culinary journey. Bright, inviting illustrations welcome readers into the warm embrace of family and food." -- Kirkus Reviews
Prompted by a family's love of plátanos, this simile-laden embrace of Dominican culture twines food and story. Norman works this ode into a well-rooted family story that expands upon the food's power as a "magical cure," a "superpower," and a "fiesta." Palacios's green and gold plátanos-colored digital illustrations capture the dance of life mid-spin. -- Publishers Weekly
