Plátanos Are Love

A delicious picture book about the ways plantains shape Latinx culture, community, and family, told through a young girl's experiences in the kitchen with her abuela.

Abuela says, "pltanos are love."
I thought they were food.
But Abuela says they feed us in more ways than one.

With every pop of the tostones, mash of the mang, and sizzle of the maduros, a little girl learns that pltanos are her history, they are her culture, and--most importantly--they are love.
