Reviews

"Latinx author Rodriguez's debut picture book is a wonderful story about the challenges associated with change, family, and feelings. The bold, digital illustrations incorporate both humor and tenderness into this interesting look at a cultural tradition." --Rosie Camargo, Booklist Online

"Three Pockets Full touched my heart in a way I wasn't expecting when I started reading it. It's a book about family, but it's also about grief. Cindy L. Rodriguez has written a children's book full of beautiful art that encourages interaction between children and the people with whom they read it, whether that be parents, grandparents, or other trusted people. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others!" --Rylanne Burdette, Readers' Favorite

"Three Pockets Full shows the power of traditions. Readers will love learning about the guayabera shirt and how it allows Beto to embrace his past while stepping into a new future with his mother and David. Three Pockets Full will leave young and old hearts alike full of wonder and appreciation." --The Winged Pen
