I appreciated the messages imparted by American author Carrie Lara in Marvelous Maravilloso: Me and My Beautiful Family, and found the artwork from Italian illustrator Christine Battuz quite lovely. There is a clear didactic purpose here, as there is with all titles from Magination Press, but no more so than many other picture-books addressing identity, diversity and acceptance. Some Spanish vocabulary is worked naturally into the story, while an afterword explores how to have discussions about race with young children. Recommended to anyone looking for new picture-books about biracial and/or bi-cultural children.
