by Alexandra Alessandri Illustrated by Courtney Dawson Isabel speaks Spanish, and in the school she will go to, everyone speaks only English. English sounds so different to her ears. How will she talk to and enjoy time with her classmates, and understand what the teacher is saying? This bilingual picture book has side-by-side Spanish and English text, and the English narrative is woven with simple Spanish words that are easy to understand within the context of the story. The vibrant, colorful illustrations echo the roller coaster of emotions in the story, as Isabel realizes how her love of drawing can give her a wonderful and different way to communicate and make friends. |
