BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME
Esmerelda is part of a Mexican-American military family and they just got orders to move back to the United States. Esmerelda is nervous though, because although her family all lives in San Antonio, she’s never lived there and she is worried that it won’t feel like home.
This is the perfect book for any child facing a big change, either about to move or just recently moved. Esmerelda’s story helps them see that home is truly where the heart is and how easy it is to find your place when you are surrounded by people that love you. I loved how Spanish was sprinkled throughout the text and the celebration of family throughout the story.
