Alicia's Happy Day

32 pp. | Star Bright | January, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-887734-85-6 $$15.95
(4) PS Illustrated by Ying-hwa Hu & Cornelius Van Wright. "May you hear salsa / and start to dance" intones this singable wish (music provided) to young Alicia, who spends her birthday walking through her Latino neighborhood and enjoying the good wishes of her community. This look at a birthday celebration through another culture's lens is welcome and the urban details well chosen, but the illustrations fail to give the grinning characters dimension.
