But when Nana starts passing around her famed Cuban picadillo, Paulina turns it down. It's made from animalitos, like the ones Paulina was visiting earlier in the day. She'd made a promise to those animals and is determined to keep it: she's become a vegetarian. With a bit of trepidation and ultimately mucho, mucho amor, Paulina discovers what it means to practice your own beliefs while still honoring your family's history and traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003ePicadillo for Paulina\u003c\/em\u003e is an accessible, delightful picture book celebration of young eaters' connections to family, food, and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Behar,Gabriel Frye-Behar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Norton Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 9.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324052418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBehar, Ruth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRuth Behar\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Newbery Honor and Pura Belpré Award-winning author and MacArthur Genius who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrye-Behar, Gabriel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eGabriel Frye-Behar\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Brooklyn-based, Cuban American filmmaker, writer, and photographer.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRodriguez Medina, Erika:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eErika Rodriguez Medina\u003c\/strong\u003e is a book publicist and illustrator based in Vancouver, Canada.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ruth Behar \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":48867561373853,"sku":"9781324052418","price":22.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_e19d50e4-7941-4fbc-9e62-fa65499c3cac.jpg?v=1788335953","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/picadillo-for-paulina-9781324052418","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
