Sandra Cisneros,Ester Hernandez
The internationally acclaimed author of ,The House on Mango Street ,gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a womanâ€™s search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her motherâ€™s death. , The word â€œorphanâ€ might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like â€œa glove left behind at the bus station.â€ What just might save her is her search for someone else gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of her friend, Roz, who ran off the day they arrived from Tacoma. As Sandra and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, â€œHave you seen Marie?â€ the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life, ,Have You Seen Marie?, showcases a beloved authorâ€™s storytelling magic, in a tale that reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever.
