When We Love Someone We Sing To Them is an award winning, bilingual picture book written by Ernesto Javier Martinez and illustrated by Maya Christina Gonzalez. It's a tenderly written account of a boy who asks his father for advice on how to express his love for another boy. His father shares ideas on what to say that go way back to Mexican deities and he supports his son in his identity. This is a wonderful book to share with elementary aged readers and up. The message is one of acceptance, universal respect and love. This is a must-have for every school and classroom! We were fortunate to be gifted a copy from the GLSEN.
