* "In this Latinx retelling of the Old Scottish tale, 'Always Room for One More', Don Manuel and Doña Lila welcome visitors to their home of five children and various pets with open arms. . . A great lesson in community and generosity, this story reminds readers that there is always room for music, dance, and love. López’s rollicking text is accompanied by Sua’s bright and cheerful illustrations.... Spanish text is heavily featured. Back matter includes an author’s note about the inspiration for this tale, more on mariachi music, selected sources, and a glossary…. A fabulous read-aloud that offers many opportunities for choral reading and movement, this text will have everyone dancing and saying 'One more!'"—School Library Journal, starred review

"López presents a tale of selflessness, joy, music, and teamwork in this delightful retelling of a ballad from Scotland…. This is a story likely to resonate with every community, thanks to its valuable ideas, flowing narrative, and captivating illustrations…. With this much-needed contribution to bilingual folktales, you can expect children to ask for uno más read."—Booklist
