Mami’s Heart

A playful and heartwarming picture book about how blended families are formed: even if the road to getting there is sometimes bumpy, it's always filled with love—illustrated by Pure Belpré Honoree Nomar Perez.

Lara and Mami are best friends.

They have their weekend traditions and their weekday dances, and above all else, they love each other with their whole hearts.

So, what happens when Mami begins to make space in her corazón for her new boyfriend, Pedro? ¡Qué horrible!

Will Lara's plans to stop him work, or . . . might there be room in her and Mami's hearts for one more after all?
