Plátanos Are Love
Plátanos Are Love
Hardcover – Picture Book, April 11, 2023
by Alyssa Reynoso-Morris (Author),
Mariyah Rahman (Illustrator)
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, “plátanos 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 mangú, and sizzle of the maduros, a little girl learns that plátanos are her history, they are her culture, and—most importantly—they are love.
