Mamá Graciela’s Secret by Mayra Calvani

I am so happy to review this beautifully illustrated book for tiny tots. The story and the illustrations are both as sweet and beautiful as fresh air. The plot is quite appealing to the palate, set in a beautiful island and served with yummy fried food that are loved by all the islanders. 

I love cats and Sheila Fein has illustrated each cat uniquely, in fact Mama Graciela's face slightly resembles her cats after they start invading her restaurant. 


Mayra Calvani introduces the problem, the stakeholders, the only visible solution, and the possible influences towards making the right decision, step by step. Though a very short story, the plot has several messages, like love for animals, love for people more than things, a peculiar problem, and the problem solving technique. Very crisp and fresh, I would recommend this book to kids in the age group of 6-10 also.
