- Summary:
- "Como a todos los niños, a Josefina le encanta comer dulces. ¡Le encantan las galletas calientes con chispas de chocolate recién salidas del horno, las magdalenas y los dulces! Una noche, mientras come un flan, Mami le pide que considere dejar los dulces por la Cuaresma, los 40 días previos a la Pascua. '¡Eso es imposible!' dice Josefina. Cuando Mami promete enseñarle cómo hacer su postre favorito, habichuelas con dulce, ella accede a intentarlo. Josefina está ansiosa por terminar su ayuno y comer los deliciosos frijoles dulces con crema, el postre tradicional de Pascua de su familia. Mientras ella y su mamá, tías y abuela preparan el plato, bailan merengue y cuentan historias sobre la vida en la República Dominicana. La cocina se llena de los olores aromáticos de la canela y el azúcar, pero son los sentimientos de amor y felicidad los que Josefina nunca olvidará. En Pascua, cuando la familia come su postre especial, la abuela de la niña dice que es el mejor que ha probado en su vida. Este conmovedor libro ilustrado bilingüe para niños comparte una historia universal sobre comida, música e historias familiares, mientras se enfoca en una tradición cultural específica de la República Dominicana. ¡La receta de este postre especial se incluye tanto en inglés como en español!" -- Amazon.
- "Like all kids, Josefina loves to eat sweets. She loves warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven, cupcakes and candy! One night, while eating a piece of flan, Mami asks her to consider giving up sweets for Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter. 'That's impossible!' Josefina says. When Mami promises to teach her how to make her favorite dessert, habichuelas con dulce, she agrees to give it a try. Josefina can't wait to end her fast and eat the delicious sweet cream beans, her family's traditional Easter dessert. While she and her mom, tias and abuela prepare the dish, they dance to merengue music and tell stories about life back in the Dominican Republic. The kitchen fills with the aromatic smells of cinnamon and sugar, but it's the feelings of love and happiness Josefina will never forget. On Easter, when the family eats her special dessert, the girl's grandmother says it's the best she has ever tasted! This heart-warming, bilingual picture book for children shares a universal story about food, music and family stories, while focusing on a cultural tradition specific to the Dominican Republic. The recipe for this special dessert is included in both English and Spanish!"-- Amazon.
