Great start of the year story, but even better if read in both languages. We have so many language learners who speak so many languages in our school that this would help build empathy and patience.

If distinctive voice is your thing, check out this potent blend of Colombian Spanish and English. Por el amor de Dios! Francisca at 15 has immigrated to Miami with the women in her family. Her loneliness and feverish irreverence is sometimes jaded, sometimes raw with self-discovery, her story both tragic and funny, as she negotiates fanatical Christianity and her own queer coming of age. #latinx #LGBTQ

Kimberlone Ooooh I haven‘t heard of this one. Will have to check it out. My mom is a Colombian immigrant. Infinite Country is also on my TBR 3y
Lindy @Kimberlone Fiebre Tropical pairs well with Infinite Country. 👌 3y
Kimberlone @Lindy good to know! I have a copy of infinite country already, and was planning on reading it next month :) 3y
Lindy @Kimberlone I look forward to your thoughts on it. 😊 3y

Buenos días, mi reina. Immigrant criolla here reporting desde los Mayamis from our ant-infested townhouse. The broken air conditioner above the TV, the flowery couch, La Tata half-drunk directing me in this holy radionovela brought to you by Female Sadness Incorporated.

This was OK. I didn't read the back or anything, so wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Basically, earth got jacked and a bunch of scientists managed to escape and now their children are exploring poly relationships and not. I mean, I like the thought that eventually all genders and preferences will be just accepted, so that was cool. 🤷‍♀️

High school senior Emoni Santiago has a lot on her plate literally and figuratively. She‘s trying to sort out #college and motherhood and her relationship with her mercurial father, and she‘s also butting heads with her culinary arts teacher and figuring out her feelings about the cute new guy in class.

So cute! The tooth fairy and el Ratón Pérez are from two different cultures, but work together to retrieve Miguelito‘s baby tooth and leave him a note and coins. #bbrc #A2Z:T

• This book is about a mother who takes about everything she did while pregnant with her baby and all of the family involved in welcoming the baby
• You could use this book to share about how someone with a different culture can do the same things to prepare for a baby in your class

KPC Very cute book and girls! :) I love all these books that teach us about different cultures. 5y
Kayladvazquez This is a cute book. I would love to read it to my children in the future. I also believe it would be a great book to keep on the self in the classroom for those students that are becoming big brother and sisters. The students can read the book and get a feel for what their mom is going through. 5y

3.5 ⭐️ This GN is odd, but in an intriguing way. This is a story about relationships and the first generation that has set new rules and moral code to live by. As should be open and free. Our main character Rigo wants to cohabitate with her beau, but they are a very free society and she feels old fashioned. She doesn't want to be monogamous, but in an open relationship. As I said I‘m intrigued, and want to see how the story progresses.

I think this is like #5 out of 21. Will try to finish all of Mario Vargas Llosa's 21 novels both in English and Spanish by the end of this year... #bookgoals #Spanglish
