Jasminne Mendez reads her bilingual picture book Josefina’s Habichuelas / Las habichuelas de Josefina.  Josefina loves sweets, but she gave them up for Lent. That’s why she’s very excited to learn how to make Mami’s habichuelas con dulce—it’s her favorite treat and how the family will end their Lenten fast at Easter dinner. Josefina ends up not only learning how to make the dish with her mom, tias, and abuela—she also learns about her family’s history in the Dominican Republic.Jasminne Mendez, Josefina’s Habichuelas / Las habichuelas de Josefina
