Looking for Bongo

(3) PS A young boy asks members of his family if they have seen Bongo. The toy finally turns up, but the next challenge is catching the mischief-maker who took it. A very simple text incorporates Spanish words and sentences, casually translated in text, context, or illustrations. Realistic, emotive oil paintings contain clever cultural details and depict a close-knit "Afro-Latino family, much like [Velasquez's] own."
