This tale of a family road trip highlights the author's joy in both her American and Colombian heritage, and captures all the warmth and love of her family's two distinct cultures.
Once a year, on a Friday night,
My family leaves the city
And drives hours and hours . . .
After a long drive to visit family--whether in the mountains of rural West Virginia or the sticky heat of Florida--what could be a better welcome than a homemade meal?
Inspired by Elizabeth Lilly's childhood vacations and the sense-memories of late-night journeys down the coast, Let Me Fix You a Plate is a vivacious exploration of family traditions old and new-- from toast with homemade blueberry jam, to fresh orange juice and arepas with queso blanco, to midnight waffles at home.
Vivid illustrations explore the heart of the home--the kitchen--and the treasures found when a family gathers to celebrate their culture, and one another. Joyous, bright, and mouth-watering, this celebration of family and our diverse, delicious traditions is sure to leave readers hungry for more!
