Why read it?
1 author picked Bisa's Carnaval as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A festive book filled with dance, culture, family, and love. The text and the illustrations bring alive this Carnaval in Olinda, Brasil. And even though this party is all about dancing and fun, in this book, this party is also about not leaving anyone behind, especially your lovely bisa (great-grandma). I love seeing all the colors and movement of the Carnaval in Olinda. This is a great book to share with kids about another culture and the universal theme of love.
From Ana's list on The most fabulosos Latinx picture books.
