An excellent bilingual Spanish/English text

Super Cilantro Girl is an excellent bilingual Spanish/English text which brings a new heroine to life and spices the account with Honorio Robledo Tapia's drawings. A young girl seeks to keep her family together and uses a bunch of cilantro leaves and a wish to rescue her mother, who is being held at the Mexican border. A fine story of courage evolves.

What happens when a small girl suddenly starts turning green, as green as a cilantro leaf, and grows to be fifty feet tall? She becomes Super Cilantro Girl, and can overcome all obstacles, that?s what! Esmeralda Sinfronteras is the winning super-hero in this effervescent tale about a child who flies huge distances and scales tall walls in order to rescue her mom. Award-winning writer Juan Felipe Herrera taps into the wellsprings of his imagination to address and transform the concerns many first-generation children have about national borders and immigrant status. Honorio Robledo Tapia has created brilliant images and landscapes that will delight all children.
