Overview

FOUR STARRED REVIEWS ""A marvel.""-Betsy Bird, School Library Journal A delectably sweet story about the unbreakable bonds of family. Muegano [ moo - egano ]: Candy made with square pieces of wheat flour fried and glued together with honey. Meet the Mueganos: a family so close they're stuck together like the traditional Mexican candy. Pap Muegano says it's honey that holds them. Mam says it's love. The oldest, Julia, wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, swimming isn't always easy, and it wouldn't hurt to have a little privacy, but there's always someone close by to help with homework, and there's nothing like cuddling up with your parents. Until the day the Mueganos take a trip to the museum, and Julia's irrepressible curiosity causes an unexpected crack...Mam wants to fix it. Pap tries to be more careful. But some things are just inevitable. In her picture book debut, Mexican author-illustrator Jaque Jours tells a universal story about independence, growing up, and learning to let go.
