No More Senora Mimi

It takes a village to raise a child. For many of us, support comes in the form of indispensable baby sitters. Meg Medina’s “𝗡𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗲ñ𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝗺𝗶” shines the spotlight on babysitters’ roles in the lives of little ones.

Señora Mimi is a lady with a two-tooth baby and a no-tooth dog who lives right above our protagonist’s apartment. The little girl is dropped off by her Mami every day to Señora Mimi’s place.

One day, the little girl happily announces that her Abuela is coming over to stay with her forever and woohoo, they won’t need a babysitter ever again! As they walk over to school, readers get a glimpse of the love between Señora Mimi and the little girl. All through the day she remains ecstatic about her Abuela’s impending arrival as friends advise her how grandmas are way better than babysitters. On her way back from school however, her heart grows heavy as she lists out all that she will miss doing with Señora Mimi. What happens next? Do they part ways forever once Abuela arrives? Get hold of the book in September to find out! Just like Meg’s Evelyn Del Ray, this book will touch your heart!
