How many ways can Papi say I love you without saying the words? Through actions big and small, his love shines during their road trip.
A heartfelt celebration of the father-daughter bond--ideal for fans of My Papi Has a Motorcycle. An adorable picture book for ages 3 to 7. When Papi, who is always busy working at el rancho, asks Maricruz to jump in the truck with him to go get groceries for Mami, she grabs the list and sprints! During the drive, they wave to the people in their community and enjoy each other's company. But when they make a turn down a particularly bumpy road, they lose their grocery list. Fortunately, an unexpected friend shows up to save the day! Inspired by the author's own truck rides with her father through a ranch in Mexico, Ways Papi Says I Love You connects the love languages between a father and daughter and shows the many ways love can be expressed and received. Written and illustrated by a Latine duo, Ways Papi Says I Love You is available in English and in Spanish.Author Biography
