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.

All of Gil's friends forgot his birthday. Or did they?
Saturdays and Sundays are very special days for the child in this
story. On Saturdays, she visits Grandma and Grandpa, who come from
a European-American background, and on Sundays -- "los domingos --"
she visits "Abuelito y Abuelita, " who are Mexican-American. While
the two sets of grandparents are different in many ways, they also
have a great deal in common -- in particular, their love for their
granddaughter.
While we follow our narrator to the circus and the pier, share
stories from her grandparents' pasts, and celebrate her birthday,
the depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and
English. This affirmation of both heritages will speak to all
children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic
backgrounds.

Amalia's best friend Martha is moving away, and Amalia is feeling
sad and angry. And yet, even when life seems unfair, the loving,
wise words of Amalia's "abuelita" have a way of making everything a

with her grandmother: cooking, listening to stories and music,
learning, and looking through her treasured box of family cards.
But when another loss racks Amalia's life, nothing makes sense
anymore. In her sorrow, will Amalia realize just how special she
is, even when the ones she loves are no longer near?
