From a New York Times bestselling and Pura Belpré Honor-winning
creator comes a heartwarming picture book celebrating essential workers
during the COVID-19 pandemic that's also a lively, bilingual game of
Veo, Veo (I Spy).
Marisol's mami is the best cook at Rosita's Cafe! But now, the
restaurant is closed. A bad virus--too easy to catch in small, crowded
places--is going around.
Marisol, Pepito, and Mami still need to go out to bring Mami's arroz con
pollo to housebound Tía Olga and Cousin Johnny. As Marisol and Pepito
watch the people working around the neighborhood, who their mother
explains have essential work, Marisol thinks of the perfect game to
play:
Veo, veo...
¿Qué ves, Marisol?
I spy...a trash collector. Essential work. Those bins were full!
By the time they get home, Marisol has another idea: a way to show the
people in her neighborhood that she sees them!
