I Love Saturdays y domingos

"I Love Saturdays y domingos" is a tender and affirming picture book that follows a young girl who cherishes her weekends, each spent with a different set of grandparents. On Saturdays, she visits her European-American Grandma and Grandpa, enjoying activities like the circus and sharing stories. On Sundays, or "los domingos," she visits her Mexican-American Abuelito y Abuelita, experiencing their unique traditions and stories, all conveyed in both Spanish and English. The book beautifully highlights the common thread of love that binds all families, regardless of cultural background, while celebrating the richness of a bicultural identity. It's perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a gentle exploration of family, heritage, and the joy of belonging.

Saturdays and Sundays are very special days for the child in this story. On Saturdays, she visits Grandma and Grandpa, who come from a European-American background, and on Sundays -- los domingos -- she visits Abuelito y Abuelita, who are Mexican-American. While the two sets of grandparents are different in many ways, they also have a great deal in common -- in particular, their love for their granddaughter. While we follow our narrator to the circus and the pier, share stories from her grandparents' pasts, and celebrate her birthday, the depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and English. This affirmation of both heritages will speak to all children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic backgrounds.
