Have You Seen Marie? by Sandra Cisneros

Sandra Cisneros, the critically acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street, penned another literary masterpiece for readers to consume. Cisneros’ newest achievement, Have You Seen Marie?, debuted in August of this year to the delight of her many fans. The story follows Sandra, a 53-year-old dealing with the recent loss of her mother, on an expedition to find her friend Roz’s cat, Marie. For Sandy, this search for a missing cat ultimately transforms into a search for herself and for love. Cisneros modeled Sandy’s journey after her own personal experience following the death of her mother. What makes this book especially unique, though, are the full-color illustration that accompany the text, like a children’s book for adults!
