Reviews
21 Cousins
De Anda and Muñoz introduce 21 first cousins, each vastly different from the next. The sibling narrators describe the family as “mestizo,” with a makeup of “the different people and cultures in Mexico: Indian, Spanish, French, and others. This is the reason people in our family look different in many ways. But we are still one family.”
