No Tildes on Tuesday
Isabella never wanted to learn to speak Spanish. But when her parents announce that they are moving the family to a predominantly Mexican-American neighborhood, Isabella becomes desperately afraid that she won't be able to fit in and grudgingly agrees to start Spanish lessons with her abuela. But the lessons aren't as easy as she thought they would be. Abuela is a strict teacher and the words are a lot more difficult to memorize than Isabella thought they would be, so at the goading of her best friend she decides to put a stop to them. Through a runaway adventure, a visit to her father in the hospital, and an introduction to a new kind of friend, Isabella comes to realize that Spanish may not be as bad as she thought, and that being able to communicate with people who share her heritage could be invaluable. Follow Isabella and author Cherrye Vasquez on a challenging journey of culture, family, and communication that just might change your mind about having No Tildes on Tuesday.
Teacher, Teacher, Can't You See?
Everyone gets excited about the first few days of school--meeting the teacher and making friends especially. The teacher is busy doing all the wonderful things teachers do--preparing reading and math lessons and more--but doesn't notice a problem in her classroom. Whoever thought that happy smiles would turn into frowns all because of a classroom bully? What will the teacher do?
Clique, Clique, Stop
The first day of school finally arrived, and boy was Isabella in for a shock! To her surprise all of the kids at her new school were not Mexican-American as she previously expected. In fact, there were kids from all racial groups, but there was one problem: there were too many cliques, making it hard for Isabella to fit in. Isabella grew tired of seeing all the division and began a quest to form a heritage club so that all students could come together and learn each other's heritages, likes, and dislikes. Who knows along the way they might find similarities.
Guess What? Dear Diary,
The author and illustrator of this diary desire a fun and exciting way for young girls to write about their greatest accomplishments, personal feelings and fears. As young girls grow up, they will have their share of life's problems, but writing can be soothing for the mind and soul. Both the author and illustrator realize that there will be triumphs as well as pitfalls during life, but journaling about daily ins and outs via a diary can be nurturing, rewarding and refreshing for a girl's emotional state. The author and illustrator would like for parents to feel comfortable appreciating and understanding that in no way are they encouraging girls to keep secrets from their parents. The headings/topics are appropriately tailored for girl-like thoughts, and they are pure in everyday life and nature.

Affirmation Daybook

By doing so, children will have heightened, unbreakable, self-esteem and self-confidence. Building a child's self-esteem and confidence is essential for maintaining deep inner strength and authority in their lives. Bullying is a pandemic in our nation's schools. It is ...

Razabilly
Vocals tinged with pain and desperation. The deep thuds of an upright bass. Women with short bangs and men in cuffed jeans. These elements and others are the unmistakable signatures of rockabilly, a musical genre normally associated with white male musicians of the 1950s. But in Los Angeles today, rockabilly's primary producers and consumers are Latinos and Latinas. Why are these "Razabillies" partaking in a visibly "un-Latino" subculture that's thought of as a white person's fixation everywhere else? As a Los Angeles Rockabilly insider, Nicholas F. Centino is the right person to answer this question. Pairing a decade of participant observation with interviews and historical research, Centin...
