A poignant and enduring story written for young readers

Soledad Sigh-Sighs/Soledad Suspiros by Rigoberto Gonzalez is an absorbing bilingual (English/Spanish) picturebook about Soledad, an eight-year-old latchkey girl who comes home from school to an empty house, because everyone else in the house has to work all day. At first she creates an imaginary sister to be with her, but then she starts to make real friends in her neighborhood. A poignant and enduring story written for young readers just about ready to graduate from picturebooks to kids' prose books, warmly illustrated by Rosa Ibarra.
