Pepita empaca - Pepita Packs Up, Del Sol BooksRecipient of a 1996 Skipping Stones Award

The fifth installment in a popular series of bilingual picture books.

This is the next installment of the spunky heroine Pepita, but she’s not staying for long. No, there is a big yellow moving truck parked in front of Pepita’s house. The family’s furniture is piled in the back, but Pepita is not ready to say goodbye. She likes her little street and the grocer who works at one end, the ladies work at the tortilla shop at the other end, and her Tía Rosa who lives right in the middle.  When Mamá sends Pepita to run errands, Mr. Hobbs, the grocer, asks, “Are you here to say goodbye?” Then the ladies in the tortilla shop ask. Then Tía Rosa. But Pepita insists that she’s not saying goodbye because “goodbye is an ugly word.”  But she’ll miss her neighbor and best friend Sonya the most. Papá says that she’ll have to tell Sonya goodbye.  This bilingual picture book focuses on the tough transition that many kids make: leaving a beloved place for a new one. Readers ages 3 to 7 will follow plucky Pepita as she learns to move on.

Vienna RoseListen to Vienna Rose read Pepita Packs Up to you.  A marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we wish for all children.

School Library Journal : PreSchool-Grade 2–The prospect of moving away from the only home they have ever known is difficult for all children. Here, Pepita drags herself through moving day, not wanting to say goodbye to her friends and neighbors. She avoids those words as studiously as she avoids packing up her last box of toys. Instead, she says, Ill be seeing you to Mr. Hobbs in the grocery store; Go with God to the ladies in the tortilla store; and Until tomorrow to her favorite aunt. Pepita is afraid that she will cry if she says Goodbye to her best friend. The book ends on a positive note as the moving truck pulls up to her new house and the child immediately makes a new friend. The Spanish translation is well crafted and reads fluidly. The simple computer-generated art depicts Hispanic characters in a pleasant setting. Families on the move may want to pack this book along.
