by Alma For Ada
From celebrated author Alma Flor Ada, the strength of this book is in its two-part presentation. The first part tells the story of how a family’s Thanksgiving celebration is almost ruined by a snowstorm—the twist at the end conveys the true spirit of friendship and generosity. In the second part, real-life photographs and informative text provide historical context to the question, “¿Qué es el Día de Acción de Gracias?” Accompanies Lesson 30 of Sonrisas Level I. (8 x 10)

Azure skies, fluffy white clouds, colorful cactus blossoms, a valley fenced in by jagged mountains, furry mice, and delicate ladybugs: The sun-washed beauty of life in the Sonoran Desert is captured in this gentle story that reads like a poem. Soft watercolors and simple words describe a family, whose lives are interwoven with the environment, and the home they fashion from the earth. Use this book to reinforce lessons about la casa or the desert. Accompanies Lesson 20 of Sonrisas Level II. (9 x 8)
