Welcome to Las Musas Book blog Delia and congratulations on this gorgeous book. We are excited to have you here today. 

Let's start by talking about Ways Papi Says I Love You. 
When Papi, who is always busy working at el rancho, asks Maricruz to jump in the truck with him to go get groceries for Mami, she grabs the list and sprints! During the drive, they wave to the people in their community and enjoy quality time. Ways Papi Says I Love you / Las maneras en que papi dice te quiero is a book that shows all the love languages.

We are thrilled to welcome Maria José Fitzgerald as she celebrates her newest book, Mystery on Macaw Island.

Maria José, just looking at the delightful cover art makes us want to pick up this book! Tell us more about this project. 
Birds of a feather solve crime together in this exciting middle grade mystery! When eight endangered macaws are stolen from a bird sanctuary in the Mayan ruins of Copán, four
sleuthing cousins must find out who took them—and why.

Nico and his cousins don’t have much in common, but they’re all excited to visit the Mayan ruins at Copán and witness the release of the scarlet macaws. Nearly extinct in Honduras, eight of these majestic birds are about to be introduced to a brand-new bird sanctuary. But on the eve of the big day the birds are stolen!

Who could have planned this bewildering bird heist—and why? Nico and his cousins are determined to find out—and anyone could be a suspect: poachers, developers, Mama’s  annoying novio . . . The investigation will take them from bustling downtown Copán to the mist-shrouded ruins of Macaw Mountain, uniting the cousins as they unravel a plot far stranger than any of them could have imagined.
