Maria and Little Niño | Hanilee U. Sarabia

Description

A touching tale of culture, curiosity, and love, Maria and Little Nino remind us that some bonds—like faith and family—live on through celebration of culture and traditions, memory, and the beat of a drum.

As the curious little girl named Maria discovers more than just the colors, chants, and joy of her town’s most cherished tradition. As she watches the rhythmic dances of the Ati people and clutches her little Sto. Niño, Maria begins to ask questions—about faith, heritage, and the meaning of togetherness. Guided by her father’s gentle wisdom, Maria finds an unexpected connection between the festival and her unborn brother, Niño. Through joy, unity, and devotion, Maria learns that love and spirit can live on in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.
