      Grades 1-3 Liu-Trujillo's book follows Art, a young boy hoping to help his father feel better by battling a cold with some fresh homemade juice. But despite running many errands, they can't find the most important ingredient: ginger! Liu-Trujillo illustrates this fun, fast-moving story with likable characters depicted in a bright, sun-washed palette with plenty of movement throughout the city scenes. Urquijo-Ruiz's translation does a wonderful job of bringing this tale to Spanish-speaking audiences, as they'll delight in watching Art and his papi problem-solve and make the tastiest, healthiest juice. The story focuses on how community members come together to help one another heal, from Art's stepdad to the local market vendors, who all share juice at the story's close. Back matter delightfully includes Art's recipe for the "Cold-Clobbering Juice."

      Starred review from June 1, 2023

      Gr 1-4-Art and his stepfather journey through the neighborhood seeking fresh ingredients to make a healing juice for the older man. At the market, neighbors offer various products from different places that are good for making a juice. In the end, Art and his stepfather create the juice and recognize that "community" is the most important ingredient for this home remedy. The illustrations are rich in diversity, as the ingredients come from different cultures. The found ingredients tie in with the storyline of community and an appreciation of various cultures. The relationship between the two main characters is evident, and the lyrical text brings the message home without didacticism. Back matter includes a recipe. VERDICT This essential story conveys the warmth of community in just one serving.-Lissette Perez-Hernandez
