Maricela, Manuel, and their mother face the many challenges of having their lives completely changed by the absence of their father and husband. Having to move, missed soccer games and birthday parties, and emptiness are just part of the now day-to-day norm. <em>Mango Moon </em>shows what life is like from a child's perspective when a parent is deported, and the heartbreaking realities the family has to face.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Author De Anda honors the real challenge that many children face when a parent is deported and reminds them that it's 'all right...to cry.' Available in both Spanish and English, this story validates a heartbreaking experience. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>Ten-year-old Maricela stares at the mango-colored moon, reminiscing on the many nights during which she and her father did the same--before his deportation. Social worker and scholar DeAnda frankly presents simple responses to the questions immigrant children might have after being separated from their parents. This Spanish version of the simultaneous English publication is sometimes awkward in its phrasing, but overall this is a much-needed text for many libraries serving families in similar situations. Though the book covers a heavy subject, Cornelison's evocative, light-filled spreads add a hint of hope, even while depicting how Maricela's dad's plight affects the whole family--through finances, living situations, school performance. Touching and timely, this is a strong choice for picture-book shelves, especially where bibliotherapy is needed. -- <i>Booklist</i><br><br><p><strong>First Book's 2nd Annual Title Raves<br /> 2020 Paterson Prize for Books for Young People<br /> 2020 Skipping Stones Honor Award<br /> 2020 Alma Flor Ada Best Latino Focused Children's Picture Book, Second Place</strong></p><br>
