(2) K-3 Illustrated by Santiago Cohen. Ten-year-old Rosa lives in a rural village outside Mexico City with her grandmother, her uncle, and her little brother. In a matter-of-fact, first-person narrative, she tells of eagerly awaiting the return of her mother, who has been working in New York City for three years to earn money for the family. Ziefert's unadorned story is brought to life by Cohen's remarkable, color-saturated, Bemelmans-like paintings. Glos.
