Description

Janet Costa Bates joins us to introduce the first in her Rica Baptista chapter book series featuring a Cape Verdean American girl navigating family and friend relationships. Rica Baptista wants – no, needs – a pet. A llama, a kinkajou, or maybe an iguana? You’ll fall in love with this funny, big-hearted character as she goes through her schemes to raise enough money to afford one. Friends and family shine in this engaging young chapter book. Janet will talk all about writing Rico Baptista, answer audience questions and sign books. "Oh, garbanzo beans! You’ll be sorry if you wait to meet big-hearted Rica, who discovers the joy of family, friendship, pets, and the power of finding her own voice." - Megan McDonald, New York Times best-selling author of the Judy Moody series
