This is a heartwarming story brilliantly interweaving the importance of food, culture, and family. The children and grandmother are sweet together as they explore eating mangú, tostones, and maduros, all from plantains made different ways at different stages of ripeness. The illustrations are gorgeous. I’m glad to have Plátanos are Love in my book collection…I already want to revisit it. #kidlit #bookreview #plantains #food #culture #family #mangu #tostones #maduros #picturebook
