Welcome to My Neighborhood!: A Barrio ABC

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shino Arihara. This rhyming alphabet book offers a realistic portrayal of a Puerto Rican barrio. The text and art don't shrink from showing the less-pretty aspects of life in an urban community, such as broken bottles and abandoned cars. However, the verse and illustrations make the neighborhood come alive with a sense of love, joy, friendship, and family.
