My Very Own Room / Mi Propio Cuartito

Five little brothers, two parents, and a house full of visiting relatives make a young Mexican American girl feel crowded.

She loves her family, but how can she get a little space of her own?

This delightful memoir of a California childhood, by Amada Irma Perez, sparkles with exuberance and wit.

Renowned painter Maya Christina Gonzalez brings the captivating scenes to life with bold colors and whimsical details.

My Very Own Room gently teaches a valuable lesson about the strength of family and the importance of dreams.
