Sara Amini
Tourists come from all over to Luisa’s hometown of Salento to hike the famous Cocora Valley. But Luisa knows what they should be seeing, so she generously puts off doing her chores to offer extra special FREE tours of the really important spots in Salento.
First there’s her casa—the only dark green house en la plaza! Then the coffee shop where she drinks jugo de mora (which turns her tongue purple) and listens to her cousin Oscar play the guitarra (his papi wishes he would find a girlfriend, but you didn't hear that from Luisa!). And there’s so many other places to see and people to meet! After all, Luisa lives in the best pueblito in el whole mundo.
This debut picture book from actress and writer Sara Amini is a celebration of the personality, joy, and energy that makes small towns (and small tour guides!) unique, with exuberant illustrations from award-winning illustrator Juana Medina.

Critic reviews
★ "A self-assured child offers a tour of Salento, Colombia's idosyncratic sites in this humorous work. . . . Digital illustrations in tropical hues depict the locale’s architecture, feel, and denizens, emphasizing across this likable whirlwind tour the idea that it’s the individuals that make 'our pueblito the best in the whole mundo.'"—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This joyful, inviting picture book celebrates community, culture, and the magic of seeing home through a child’s eyes. . . . Each page overflows with color and life, inviting readers to linger and explore. Ultimately, this book is a heartfelt reminder that the most meaningful places are the ones we know by heart, and Luisa is the perfect guide." —Booklist
