Reviews for Cruzita
“This excellent debut has heart and soul, with an obvious deep love and appreciation for the culture in each word.”—Booklist
“Granillo gently tempers the Tayahuas’ grief over Tio Chuy’s death by focusing on the characters’ lighthearted developing relationships and relates the feeling of being disconnected from one’s heritage via Cruzita’s learning more about her roots.”—Publishers Weekly
“Many readers will resonate with the demands on her time, and the children and grandchildren of immigrants will likely identify especially strongly with Cruzita’s journey toward connecting with her roots. A sweet summer quest for identity and belonging.”—Kirkus Reviews
