Items related to I Love Saturdays y Domingos
Saturdays and Sundays are very special days for the child in this story. On Saturdays, she visits Grandma and Grandpa, who come from a European-American background, and on Sundays -- los domingos -- she visits Abuelito y Abuelita, who are Mexican-American. While the two sets of grandparents are different in many ways, they also have a great deal in common -- in particular, their love for their granddaughter.
While we follow our narrator to the circus and the pier, share stories from her grandparents' pasts, and celebrate her birthday, the depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and English. This affirmation of both heritages will speak to all children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic backgrounds.

From the Author:
This book is very dear to me for the great reception it has receivedfrom readers. Many times during autographing sessions people tell methey want it for a special child with dual heritage, and it not only for those that share Hispanic heritage, but many others as well.
While many people think I must have been inspired by my ownfamily-two of my sons are married to women of Anglo descent and thethird to a Brazilian, the idea for the book came to me, a long time ago, before any of my children had married. While in Hawaii, a Sundayafternoon in Lahaina. I watched as many families strolled by. It wasapparent that they had very mixed heritage-Chinese, Japanese, Filipino,Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, Anglo- and that they felt very comfortable witheach other. That experience moved me to write this story. It took a long time for the book to be published and by then I did have grandchildrenwith dual heritage. Sometimes in my own experiences I wonder whetherliterature reflects life or life reflects literature.
Seeing this book transformed into a video has been wonderful. It made it even more interesting to be interviewed for the video in the company of my granddaughter Camille.
