Perhaps the title tells you all you need to know about this book? No, there is so much more to this story. Evelyn de Rey is Daniela's best friend, her best friend in the whole wide world. And now she is moving away. These two friends have lived next door to each other for ever! They play together, they visit each others apartments, and they have years of shared memories. Even though Evelyn does move away, Daniela knows this is a friendship that will last forever.
"I know she will always be my first mejor amiga, my número uno best friend."
Take a look at this book trailer for Elevlyn de Rey is Moving Away. I am sure it will convince you that this book is one you will want to add to your library. The Autumn setting is also perfect for a book which explores the idea of change.
I have a Pinterest collection of picture books about moving to a new house. The most obvious book to pair with Evelyn del Rey is moving away would be Amy and Louis by Libby Gleeson.
You can see other books by Newbery medalist Meg Medina here. Here are some other books illustrated by Spanish illustrator Sonia Sanchez. Her art style is 'scrumptious'.
