About the Book

in a quiet village on a small island, two boys spend their days in a mango tree. High above the rest of the world, they play, take naps in the shade, and eat mangoes together. But after a huge storm sweeps one boy out into unknown waters, he finds himself alone in a strange new land, where everything is different and unfamiliar. In this poignant, personal story, internationally celebrated Cuban American artist Edel Rodriguez brings to life his childhood experience as an immigrant to the US. Taking readers on a fantastical journey into the unknown, The Mango Tree (La mata de mango) is a tale of new experiences, the bonds that connect us to home, and a friendship that endures across time and borders.

Smith Jr., Float Like a Butterfly by Ntozake Shange, Fascinating: The Life of Leonard Nimoy, and Sonia Sotomayor: A Judge Grows in the Bronx/La juez que crecio en el Bronx by Jonah Winter.

He lives with his wife and daughter in New Jersey.

Review :
Rodriguez’s vivid, woodblock-printing-style illustrations had me marveling... the absence of text gives the story a dreamlike, fairy-tale quality... In the absence of narration, readers of all ages will inhabit the child’s journey on their own terms, making “The Mango Tree” an absorbingly personal experience. ***STARRED REVIEW*** "Rodriguez’s striking wood block and digital illustrations in a limited color palette are dynamic and well-balanced, with the sunset-glow of a mango guiding viewers through even the darkest spreads." ***STARRED REVIEW*** "Riveting illustrations...No words are needed, as the spreads convey emotions on every page. Readers can return to each page to find something new with each read. A powerful story conveying the strength of friendship and full of resilience, this lovely picture book is highly recommended." ***STARRED REVIEW*** "Rodriguez’s textured, vivid woodblock-printed artwork imbues these serene childhood scenarios with well-worn wistfulness...a touching tribute to the uplifting joys of friendship and the thrilling unknowns of adventures, told with acute detail from a child’s perspective. Simply spellbinding." Wielding visual power in this wordless picture book, Rodriguez renders a story of a childhood friendship enacted in the branches of a mango tree.
