Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

From a New York Times bestselling and Pura Belpré Honor-winning creator comes a heartwarming picture book celebrating essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic that's also a lively, bilingual game of Veo, Veo (I Spy).

Marisol's mami is the best cook at Rosita's Cafe! But now, the restaurant is closed. A bad virus--too easy to catch in small, crowded places--is going around. Marisol, Pepito, and Mami still need to go out to bring Mami's arroz con pollo to housebound Tía Olga and Cousin Johnny. As Marisol and Pepito watch the people working around the neighborhood, who their mother explains have essential work, Marisol thinks of the perfect game to play: Veo, veo... ¿Qué ves, Marisol? I spy...a trash collector. Essential work. Those bins were full!

By the time they get home, Marisol has another idea: a way to show the people in her neighborhood that she sees them!

De un creador superventas del New York Times y ganador del Pura Belpré Honor, llega un conmovedor libro ilustrado que celebra a los trabajadores esenciales durante la pandemia de COVID-19 que también es un juego bilingüe animado de Veo, Veo (Veo, veo).


¡La mami de Marisol es la mejor cocinera en Rosita's Café! Pero ahora, el restaurante está cerrado. Un virus malo, demasiado fácil de contraer en lugares pequeños y concurridos, está dando vueltas.


Marisol, Pepito y Mami todavía tienen que salir a llevar el arroz con pollo de Mami a la tía Olga y al primo Johnny. Mientras Marisol y Pepito observan a las personas que trabajan en el vecindario, a quienes su madre les explica que tienen un trabajo esencial, Marisol piensa en el juego perfecto para jugar:

Veo, veo…

¿Qué ves, Marisol?

Espío... un recolector de basura. Trabajo esencial. ¡Esos contenedores estaban llenos!


Cuando llegan a casa, Marisol tiene otra idea: ¡una manera de mostrarle a la gente de su vecindario que ella los ve!
