Reviews
"With Spanish words peppering the story, found in the illustrations, and always apparent from the context, this is an ebullient story winningly told and with a very unusual angle: older man moves through grief and finds a new friend. Readers see enough of Quica to adore her, too, and this is a side of married life-aging but animated, curious about everything, deeply in love-that is not often glimpsed in picture books. VERDICT A simple ghost story and a mystery, too, but with substantial life lessons that are charming and memorable."
