Publisher's Synopsis
This book is published by Floricanto Press. Ana-which spelled backwards is "Ana", by the way-doesn't know what a refugee is but she does miss her home in Venezuela where she had friends, and loved eating arepas! Join her on her journey to make new ones-arepas and friends in America. This is a fun and heartfelt story.
Jon Clark, the author and illustrator, met a Venezuelan refugee family and was inspired to write and illustrate this profoundly sincere story of a little girl caught between her roots and awakening to the new, welcoming, and friendly place in America. Jon does not dwell in the fears and preoccupations of a young newcomer but rather in an uplifting hope for her future in America. This book deeply touches the heart and soul what has meant "coming to America." www.LatinoBook.Net
