(Lucy Hereandthere) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Lucy Hereandthere is a story about a little girl coming from a bilingual, intercontinental family. Lucy has a grandmother and an abuela, she speaks a language spoken by millions, and a secret language that she only uses with her mom. But sometimes others see her as only “half” here. That’s when she likes to wrap herself in a blanket and listen to stories in different languages with her sister. She’s not just half, she is twice: here and there. (source: publisher)
