Carmela Full of Wishes / Matt de la Pena, ill. Christian Robinson
G.P. Putnam's Sons.
2018
When Carmela wakes up on her birthday, her wish has already come true--she's finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. Together, they travel through their neighborhood, past the crowded bus stop, the fenced-off repair shop, and the panadería, until they arrive at the Laundromat, where Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement. But before she can blow its white fluff away, her brother tells her she has to make a wish. If only she can think of just the right wish to make . . - From Amazon

I think my favorite part of this was how Robinson incorporated the traditional cut paper flags of latinx culture into the spreads of his illustrations!
