A delectably sweet story about the unbreakable bonds of family.

Muégano [ moo - egano ]: Candy made with square pieces of wheat flour fried and glued together with honey.

Meet the Muéganos: a family so close they’re stuck together like the traditional Mexican candy. Papá Muégano says it’s honey that holds them. Mamá says it’s love. The oldest, Julia, wouldn’t have it any other way. Sure, swimming isn’t always easy, and it wouldn’t hurt to have a little privacy, but there’s always someone close by to help with homework, and there’s nothing like cuddling up with your parents. Until the day the Muéganos take a trip to the museum, and Julia’s irrepressible curiosity causes an unexpected crack... Mamá wants to fix it. Papá tries to be more careful. But some things are just inevitable.

In her picture book debut, Mexican author-illustrator Jaque Jours tells a universal story about independence, growing up, and learning to let go.

Sebastian V. ★★★★★

The way the author weaves the candy-making process into the family story made me crave a real muégano while reading. It’s a sweet, warm read that stayed with me long after I finished.

Brian K. ★★★★★

This book’s description of the muégano candy—those fried wheat squares glued with honey—had me craving one while reading about the family’s sticky-sweet history. The way the story weaves that treat into their bonds made the whole thing feel warm and personal. Finished it in one sitting.
