The Giveaway: An autographed copy of Before You Were Here, Mi Amor by Samantha Vamos.

Before You Were Here, Mi Amor
Before You Were Here, Mi Amor is a bilingual children’s picture book concerning all the things that one family does to welcome a new child into the world. The story evokes the warmth and community of family life through the acts of each member of la familia – mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, and grandfather, as well as the family puppy. The illustrator, Santiago Cohen, enhanced the story with beautifully vibrant and colorful illustrations.
