Cinderalys: The Dominican Princess

Inspiring, Emotional, Cultural. I had been waiting for the day where I saw young girls and women feel culturally represented in a story that cultives the heritage and beauty of our beloved land the Dominican Republic. This book accomplishes that and more. It is beautifully written, the images and settings are captivating. I highly recommend gifting this book to young girls and women to allow them to connect more with their unique beauty and specially with the gifts that we each can pass down through generations as nurtures and healers.

AMAZING!!! I have no words to how amazing this book is. I bought 4 of
them as gifts for my niece and nephews. Reading it made me get
goosebumps. So so good. Don't think about it, just buy 5. I promise you will want to share this with all of your family and friends!

Besa La Mano: Aceptando el Respeto y la Herencia

We love it! We really enjoyed reading this book. My 4 year old learned the besa mano tradition last year and this book helped explain what besando la mano is in a simple way. Sometimes she forgets, but this book was so cool for her because she’s never gotten to do it in person with her grandparents and aunts and uncles. She now talks about going to Dominican Republic to besa la mano. This book was so full of culture from the clapping when you land to the besando la mano. I can’t wait to document her next experience in Dominican Republic to see how she reacts to it all now that she’s read this book!

Great for my Classroom! I’m an ESOL teacher and my students love this book! I showed my Dominican
students and they were talking about it all day. It’s important for kids to relate and see themselves in literature. It’s a great for anybody,
but especially great for those kids that grew up eating mangu.
