Notes

From the 2022 Belpre Committee: Rosie’s Abuela doesn’t need a recipe, because she truly cooks “by heart.” Rosie compares the steps of making tamales to the wishes she has for her family. Lora’s warm, lush illustrations harken back to previous generations and work with Genhart’s text to honor tradition, family, memories and culture.
