Bright illustrations with flowing lines first draw readers to Maya Christina Gonzalez's book, " I Know the River Loves Me- Yo se que el rio me ama." This book is about a young girl and how she knows the river loves her. The little girl speaks fondly of the river and all that it does to show its love. The translation from English to Spanish is accurate which is the key to bilingual literature. The personification of the river is clearly visible and would lead to meaningful classroom discussions. This is a book that would be good to have in both the school and home library.
