I thought this was a excellent multicultural memoir. I loved how the pictures flowed so perfectly with the words. As I was reading I thought about how I might could use this book in my classroom. I thought it might be great to use this book during Cinco de Mayo. I always do some type of activity/activities around the first week of May. I think this would be a great way to incoporate family customs. Students could learn a lot from reading this book. I also think this would be a great book for Hispanic children. By having Spanish text to go along with English text students who are Hispanic may feel more at ease about reading. They could also help the class read some words/phrases in Spanish. This always makes my Hispanic students feel good.
I never really thought of that, “the picture flowing with the words”……I like that! Very nicely worded
