Recent praise for My Papa Diego and Me

My Papa Diego and Me is really on a roll — it seems like every day we find another glowing review or mention of this new fall title in the media. Here are two of the most recent:

This review on the Shelf Awareness blog couldn't be better. Here's a choice quote:

"In her introduction to this beautifully designed picture book tribute to Mexican artist Diego Rivera (1886-1957) and his paintings, Guadalupe Rivera Marín...immediately engages both young readers and fans of the artist... The conversational tone of the narrative allows viewers to experience the featured painting on every spread as they would in a gallery led by a knowledgeable guide.... Marín's concise yet complete explanations, delivered with a light touch, will give readers an appreciation of the traditions that shaped the author and her artist father, and also the elegance with which they have preserved the Mexico they loved."

In today's Publishers Weekly, there's a list called "An Indie Top 20: Twenty fall titles from independent presses that show big promise". You can find My Papa Diego and Me about halfway down the page.
