The At Home Family Book Club presents
by Ernesto Cisneros
Family reading, intended for ages 8 and up.
Efrén Nava’s Amá is his Superwoman—or Soperwoman, named after the delicious Mexican sopes his mother often prepares. Both Amá and Apá work hard all day to provide for the family, making sure Efrén and his younger siblings Max and Mía feel safe and loved.
But Efrén worries about his parents; although he’s American-born, his parents are undocumented. His worst nightmare comes true one day when Amá doesn’t return from work and is deported across the border to Tijuana, México.
Now more than ever, Efrén must channel his inner Soperboy to help take care of and try to reunite his family.
The at home Family Book Club Kit includes a copy of the book to check out, discussion questions, and snacks.
Kit pickup begins on November 1, and continues through November 30.
Kits are limited. Priority is given to patrons who register, and then on a first-come, first-served basis in the Children’s Library. Books will be checked out to your library card when you pick up the kit.
