"Yesenia takes readers on a sensory and culinary journey. Bright,
inviting illustrations welcome readers into the warm embrace of
family and food." — Kirkus Reviews
Prompted by a family’s love of plátanos, this simile-laden embrace
of Dominican culture twines food and story. Norman works this ode
into a well-rooted family story that expands upon the food’s power
as a “magical cure,” a “superpower,” and a “fiesta.” Palacios’s
green and gold plátanos-colored digital illustrations capture the
dance of life mid-spin. — Publishers Weekly
