Reviews
"Best-selling Cisneros chronicles a search for a runaway cat that turns into a way to work through grief and discover community. . . . The deliberately informal, rough-edged illustrations give a nice sense of Cisneros' multicultural, bohemian neighborhood . . . [T]his warmhearted tale offers comfort to anyone coping with the loss of a loved one." - Kirkus, "Cisneros, perhaps best known for The House on Mango Street , is an author whose descriptive, lyrical prose and expressive treatment of the Chicano cultural experience has catapulted [her] to nearly unparalleled fame. Her new release, Have You Seen Marie? -expressively wrought and full of picturesque illustrations of San Antonio and its colorful characters by visual artist Ester Hernández-is at its heart a parable for adults, whose themes of death, mourning, and loss take on new meaning when presented within a simple tale about a cat gone astray. In the process of writing it, [Cisneros] found healing in the aftermath of her own mother's passing." -Nina Terrero, NBC Latino "Best-selling Cisneros chronicles a search for a runaway cat that turns into a way to work through grief and discover community. . . .

Synopsis
The internationally acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a woman's search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother's death. The word "orphan" might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like "a glove left behind at the bus station." What just might save her is her search for someone else gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of her friend, Roz, who ran off the day they arrived from Tacoma. As Sandra and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, "Have you seen Marie?" the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life, Have You Seen Marie? showcases a beloved author's storytelling magic, in a tale that reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever., The internationally acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street and winner of the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature gives us a deeply moving tale of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups about a woman's search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother's death.
