FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Enter the classroom in this joyful story of growth that will help new students find their voice. With Spanish words throughout the text, this radiant picture book is perfect for fans of Mango, Abuela, and Me. On the first day of elementary school, Abuela soothes Glorianas nerves by telling her stories from their family home in la Republica Dominicana. But as soon as Gloriana enters the classroom, the tropical scenery crumbles and la musica is replaced with English phrases she does not understand. When other kids approach her to play at recess, she freezes, uncertain about how to exist between her two homes, or how to make new friends between her two languages. Abuela recognizes echoes of her own immigration journey on this challenging day at school, and she gently guides Gloriana towards newfound confidence. This beautifully painted, imaginative picture book celebrates the magic of existing in-between, and the transformative power of self-soothing to build confidence.An essential read for fans of The Queen of Kindergarten.

Review "This heartwarming bilingual tale beautifully captures the anxieties and triumphs of a young girl on her first day of school. Each page bursts with life, perfectly complementing the storys themes of heritage, courage, and belonging."--Booklist"The story blends English and Spanish text together just as a bilingual student might. . . The gorgeous acrylic illustrations jump off the page, highlighting the power of memories to take the place of fear. A lovely back-to-school story that a growing number of children will find relatable and that will encourage empathy in others." --School Library Journal Details ISBN0316366617 Author Doris M.
