Cover Reveal: NOT FAR FROM HERE

Today we're excited to reveal the cover to Nydia Armendia-Sánchez's debut NOT FAR FROM HERE! But first, a little bit about the book: 

We worked and worked
juntos,
holding, shaping, and forging
our sueños
 
Nuestra familia . . .
nos superamos
as individuals
and
together
 
Mamá tells her children a story that began when their papá was a niño, not far from here. Their abuelitas shared the skills and the stories of their antepasados, and their abuelo, a blacksmith, taught their papá how to make art from earth and fire. When abuelo died, papá took all those lessons to heart and crossed la frontera to el norte to follow his sueños. There, he worked and overcame barriers to forge his own obra maestra: a familia and a future in which anything is possible.

NOT FAR FROM HERE is written by Nydia Armendia-Sánchez and illustrated by Devon Holzwarth and releases October 1, 2024 from Candlewick Press
