Synopsis

A stunning bilingual picture book that celebrates Latinx families by highlighting moments of connection and delight and feelings of safety and home, even through challenges and difficult times.
Me gusta your smile, tu sonrisa,and your hugs, tus abrazos.
Me gusta when we explore this spectacular world, el mundo,and gaze at all the stars, las estrellas.
But most of all, me gusta that no matter where we are, I feel at home, en casa, when I’m with you.
In the affirmative and encouraging Me Gusta, acclaimed author and illustrator Angela Dominguez combines Spanish and English in a poetic and touching story of family, reminding us that through the adventures and the heartbreak, love conquers all and transcends language.

Goodreads review by Jon on January 04, 2023

A wonderful book that looks at what binds us to family and community. The simple acts that we like every day, and how we grow when those acts bring us closer together. This would be a great book to read with a small child; ask them what they like as you point out all the support that is around them.......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on March 27, 2023

This was a good intro bilingual book. It goes through many typical things that someone would like but also does an excellent job of delving into some critical issues that are being more and more discussed in children's picture books like prejudices and racism, which I think is very important for you......more

Goodreads review by Emily on September 14, 2022

Beautifully illustrated and a lovely story. The "bilingual" parts felt tacked on, though, generally just a repetition of the last major vocabulary word in the previous English sentence. But it deals wonderfully with prejudice and skin color head on, while also celebrating the warmth and coziness of......more

Goodreads review by Melissa the Librarian on December 23, 2022

I love Angela Dominguez, and I liked this book for the most part. It does take a darker turn in the middle toward prejudice and other tough issues, which I wasn't expecting. Definitely not a bad thing to be covered in a children's book, I just didn't see it coming from the way the book was presented......more

Goodreads review by Margaret Boling on April 16, 2023

4/9/2023 ~ A bilingual affirmation of families, traditions, and languages. The short phrases on each page alternate between English and Spanish, though not in a typical bilingual way (where the entire text is written separately in both languages.) The book describes things we like and things we don'......more
