From the Author Writing Anita and Grandma's dulce de leche was an unforgettable experience. Every time I read this story, a smile shows up on my face because Anita is a happy character who inspires with her joy and curiosity. She enjoys playing with her dog Toffee, the Rooster Pambelé, the cat Pandora, and doing activities with her grandparents, Rosa and Fermín. They take advantage of every moment to teach her beautiful stories and family traditions. This time, Grandma Rosa teaches her the Dulce de leche's recipe, a confection typical in many countries, and that is honored in this book, the first volume of the ANITA series. The preparation and tasting of Dulce de leche is a true tradition that connects and integrates Anita's family with the neighbors. Grandma Rosa is proud of her roots and shares this tradition as a gesture of love with her community and life itself. Through their characters, Anita and Grandma's Dulce de leche, allows children to enjoy a story that reflects racial integration and cultural sensitivity. They also learn that traditions are part of human history where cultural aspects and affections are expressed and must be valued as part of a society that promotes diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism. As an author, I present everyday experiences and approach them to readers naturally and sensitively so that the message becomes a topic of conversation that spreads the seeds of peace and love between human beings and nature. *** Escribir Anita y el dulce de leche de la abuela fue una experiencia inolvidable.

In a timely update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi skillfully balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love in her vibrant reimagining of this beloved classic. A smart, funny, gorgeous retelling starring all characters of color. Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding. But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick’s changing landscape, or lose it all. "Zoboi skillfully depicts the vicissitudes of teenage relationships, and Zuri’s outsize pride and poetic sensibility make her a sympathetic teenager in a contemporary story about race, gentrification, and young love."
