Mami's Coquí Song

By Brenda Ortiz McGrath

When Valentina's world grows quiet after Mami passes away, the nights on her island home feel different. But one sound remains-the tiny coqu whose gentle song carries love through the warm Caribbean air.

As Valentina listens to the music of the night, she discovers that memories live in the wind, in the hibiscus flowers, in Abuelo's stories, and in every soft "co-qu " that echoes across the island. Guided by her family and the songs of the coqu , Valentina learns that Mami's love didn't disappear... it simply found a new way to sing.

Mami's Coqu Song is a tender, beautifully illustrated story about love, loss, and the comforting power of memory. Rooted in Puerto Rican culture and the magic of the coqu , this book gently supports children as they navigate grief and helps families talk about the loved ones who remain with us in special ways.

Perfect for:

Families seeking a healing story about griefChildren coping with loss or big emotionsClassrooms and counselors teaching SEL, belonging, and remembranceAnyone who cherishes Puerto Rican culture and the coqu 's song

A story of love that keeps singing-always calling us home.
