Maya and Annie
on Saturdays and Sundays / Los Sabados Y Domingos de Maya Y Annie
by Gwendolyn Zepeda (Goodreads Author), Thelma Muraida (Illustrator)
This bilingual picture book
contains bright illustrations that depict the richness of the culture and the
beauty of diversity. It’s a tale about melding families and traditions throughout
cultural celebrations and a wedding preparation. It’s written in English and
Spanish.
The story started with Maya
and Annie who learn about each other's family and cultural heritage. They become
more than just friends on Saturdays and Sundays. They traveled us to places
and traditions such as the Posadas, Lunar New Year, food, tradition and
culture.
I recommend this book for its rich cultural value.

La
historia comienza con Maya y Annie, quienes aprenden sobre el patrimonio
familiar y cultural de cada una. Se convierten en algo más que amigas de los
sábados y domingos.
La
historia nos lleva a lugares y tradiciones como las Posadas, el Año Nuevo
Lunar, la comida, la tradición y la cultura. Recomiendo este libro por su riqueza
cultural.

Saturdays and Sundays as part of the #ReadYourWorld.
Multicultural Children’s Book Day (1/25/19) is in its 6th year and was founded by Valarie Budayr from Jump Into A Book and Mia Wenjen from PragmaticMom. Our mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in home and school bookshelves while also working diligently to get more of these types of books into the hands of young readers, parents and educators.
