Finalista, premio al mejor libro leído en voz altaQuinito sabe que su vecindario se compone de mucho más que edificios, calles y tiendas: se compone de todas las personas que conoce y ama. Gente como su prima adulta Tita, que aprende a hacer reír a la gente en la escuela de payasos, y su tía, que pinta murales para alegrar las calles. Todos en el vecindario tienen un trabajo importante, y cada amigo y vecino conoce y valora a todos los demás. Las pinturas como joyas de José Ramírez vibran con vida y energía, y dan vida al encantador viaje por el barrio de Quinito.
Quinito's Neighborhood inspirará a los lectores a explorar y apreciar sus propios vecindarios y les mostrará la variedad ilimitada de diferentes trabajos en sus comunidades.
