Text on image reads “4 months…” and “coming May 13, 2025” with the cover of Together We Remember (where a young girl and her dad walk hand in hand through a forest of memories of their time with Mami Text on image reads “Together We Remember” and “Preorder Today” with two interior spreads from the book: Giselle, the young girl, looking under her dad’s bed for a toy, and Giselle and Papi having a concert on the moon. Text on image reads “Together We Remember” and “Preorder Today” with two interior spreads from the book: Giselle and Papi exploring a giant sandwich (Mami’s favorite), and a photo album of the family. The book description from the publisher’s page: In this tender debut picture book about finding joy despite grief, a little girl wishes to make Father’s Day even better by using imagination to honor and remember their happiest memories with a lost loved one. Giselle and Papi are happy together, but there was a time when their two was three, and sometimes remembering is painful. It can also be a lot of fun! They embark on an imagination adventure that includes rainforest hikes, intergalactic planet-hopping, and most of all, remembering Mami through her favorite activity—creating stories and new memories. This book’s vivid, emotive prose makes the complicated themes of grief and absence accessible for young readers in this personal story that centers family, love, and journeys that memory can lead us on.

The cover of Together We Remember, a picture book. A young Latinx girl in overalls and a yellow shirt walks hand-in-hand with her dad through a forest of memories of Mami. Papi is holding a photo album that overflows with memories.
