A Tiger Called Tomás by Charlotte Zolotow
5.0
I received a digital review copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
Such a sweet story of a shy Latino boy who is afraid that his new neighbors won't like him and as a result does not give them a chance to get to know him. Feeling courageous once he puts on his tiger costume for Halloween and realizes no one will be able to see his face, Tomas finally leaves his house to go trick-or-treating on his own. He surprised when all of his neighbors recognize him immediately and welcome him into their homes or invite them over another day. When he gets home he feels less shy and looks forward to see his new friends again.
The illustrations are vivid and colorful -- absolutely wonderful! Republished with Latinx characters, a few text changes, and a few added Spanish words, this was a refreshing new version of the classic, relatable story.
