    About this ebook

    A bilingual tale about Little Lilly Lujan who loves her chanclas (flip-flops) going slippety-slappety and flippity-flop. In fact, Lilly refuses any footwear except her favorite pair of flip-flops. "Why does Lilly love her chanclas so much?" her family cries. Lilly doesn't listen. That's why her family nicknames her "Little Chanclas." At baptisms, barbecues, quinceñeras, and picnics, you can hear Little Chanclas going slippety-slap and flippity-flop. Then one day Lilly dances a little too much at a fiesta, her chanclas come apart, a pit bull chews up the remains, and there is no more flip for her flop! Little Chanclas is inconsolable. Crisis ensues as she rejects shoe after shoe. But then a miracle happens. Lilly puts on a pair of soccer shoes. She's a natural. She goes clickety-click. She scores a goal. She's a star!

    José Lozano is a rising star in the thriving Latino art scene in Los Angeles, California. Born in Los Angeles, his family moved to Juárez, Chihuahua, México, when he was a baby. Growing up on the border, he found many of the cultural touchstones that continue to influence his work today—bad Mexican cinema, lucha libre, fotonovelas, ghost stories, and comic books. Lozano prefers to work in a series, focusing on themes like Mexican wrestlers, paper dolls, and lotería. In fact, the Los Angeles Metro System commissioned his loteria card portraits of various light rail riders for the La Brea/Expo Station. Lozano lives in Fullerton, California, and teaches elementary school in Anaheim.

      What a wonderful story! In this bilingual picture book, Jose Lozano tells the story of Lily "Little Chanclas" Lujan. She's called Little Chanclas because she wears her old flip flops everywhere she goes- well up until she loses one in Mrs. Carachure's guacamole bowl and Chewco the bulldog eats the other up! This book has mind provoking unique illustrations. My favorite one being poor Chewco the bulldog sick with an ice pack on his head and a thermometer in his mouth after feeling woozy, post chancla incident. The writing is engaging and witty- an example is when Lily was distraught after losing her chanclas and after her family had tried finding her more shoes, one cousin referred to her as "Cinderella's bratty sister". The big idea of this story is dealing with loss, however small. Towards the end Lily finds love in other shoes, it's a great story.
