Yuyi Morales
(Juvenile Nonfiction - 791 Morales Mor)

Yuyi Morales tells the story of her own immigration to the United States with her infant son, where language, culture, and loneliness are barriers to feeling at home in this strange, new country. That all changes when she and her son discover the public library, and they can see themselves represented by the picture books on the shelves. Many classic children’s books written by Hispanic authors are celebrated in this personal autobiography. 2019 award winner. Recommended for ages 4–8.
