A big rainstorm and a power failure during a Fourth of July picnic in honor of Uncle Chente cause a change in plans, resulting in a very special family gathering.
The Cárdenas family makes great plans for a family picnic on July 4th when their truck-driving uncle is coming to visit. They prepare food, decorate the table and the backyard, and plan to watch the fireworks on TV. But plans must change. First a bad thunderstorm drives them from the yard, then lightning hits a transformer and the electricity fails. But they have a great time anyhow, helped by Uncle Chente's stories and the warmth of family togetherness. Howard's full-page scenes and vignettes on the facing dual-language text page use thin strokes of color to build forms and provide a sense of design unity, echoing that of the family. There is a sense of memory in the slight haziness of the texture. 2001, Piñata Books/Arte Público Press, $14.95. Ages 4 to 8. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz

This book won the Reading With Energy Hispanic Children's Book Award
Its an amazing book for teachers to have in their library especially because it is a bilingual book
its also a great multicultural book because it can relate to many children and it gives them a new look at literature, when they can see themselves in books.
