In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the
importance of family and friendship.
"A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of
surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
"
Mexico may be her parents' home, but it's certainly not Margie's.
She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is
one-hundred percent American--just like them. But when her Mexican
cousin Lupe visits, the image she's created for herself crumbles.
Things aren't easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadn't felt like home
since her father went North to find work. Lupe's hope of seeing him
in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language
in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a
friend.
Little by little, the girls' individual steps find the rhythm of
one shared dance, and they learn what "home" really means. In the
tradition of My Name is Maria Isabel--and simultaneously published
in English and in Spanish--Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M.
Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the
classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while
straying true to who you are.
When Lenny Volpe, former quarterback of the worst professional
football team in the nation, leaves his family and disappears, the
Chicago Horribles win their first game in a long time. Fans are
thrilled. The world seems to go back to normal. Except for the
Volpe kids. Winston throws himself into playing the tuba, and
Louise starts secret experiments to find a cure for brain injuries,
and they're each fine, just fine, coping in their own way. That is,
until the investigation of some eccentric teacher behavior and the
discovery of a real live bear paraded as the Horribles' new mascot
make it clear that things are very much Not Fine. The siblings may
just need each other, after all.
Children love to visualize or imagine filling their bodies with the
colors of the rainbow. This effective stress-management technique
also known as guided imagery is widely accepted and used by both
traditional and holistic communities. This gentle but powerful
technique stimulates the imagination. Visualization can have a
positive impact on your health, creativity and performance. It can
lower stress and anxiety levels. It can be used to decrease pain
and anger.The colorful imagery in this story quiets the mind and
relaxes the body so your child can manage stress and fall asleep
peacefully. Relax with colors!
Potty Super Team! helps toddlers and parents to develop potty
