Every night on his route, he stands under Coqui’s balcony and the two exchange funny faces and sounds: “<em>Thiddle, thiddle, thiddle!</em>” they call back and forth. In golden, sunny hues, colored pencil and lithograph crayon drawings by Colón (<em>Child of the Universe</em>) imbue the neighborhood with the feel of Havana. When Coqui’s family leaves Cuba for the U.S. (“Your gentle father is a man with <em>opinions</em>,” Mami says, “And in our country, that can be dangerous”), and arrives in Georgia, “no Peanut Man sang that night, nor any night that followed.” But baseball reminds the child narrator of home, and when Papi gets tickets for a game, they cheer for Hank Aaron—and Coqui connects with a ballpark peanut vendor in a homecoming moment that mixes grief and mischief. It’s a personal-feeling telling that weaves together tradition, experiences of a new life, and a joyful revelation of commonality. Background characters are portrayed with a variety of skin tones. Ages 4–8. <em>(Mar.)</em></div><button class="details-button mdc-button mdc-button--outlined font-source-sans-pro--bold" aria-hidden="true" data-sargasso-class="OpenModal"
