Rita Moreno
In this New York Times bestselling memoir, West Side Story star Rita Moreno shares her remarkable journey from a young girl with simple beginnings in Puerto Rico to Hollywood legend—one of the few performers, and the only Hispanic, to win an Oscar, Grammy, Tony and two Emmys.

Summary of Rita Moreno's Rita Moreno
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When I came to America, I was sick. I was dying from fear almost, like the baby bird I once picked up that died in my hand. I did not know what was wrong with me, but I thought the same mysterious force that killed the bird was attacking me. #2 I was five years old when I was admitted to the hospital with chicken pox. I had never seen a dead body, or a sick person, and I was terrified. I did not understand the rules about removing contagious people from the tenements. #3 I have always played a part. I was a smoldering sexy spitfire for so many years, and I had to be a different person for every role. I was Rita Moreno, the Hispanic heroine with all four gleaming prizes. But inside, who was I.

I Need My Monster
Scholastic Book Club Selection Alabama Camellia Award list, 2010-11, K-1 category A unique monster-under-the-bed story with the perfect balance of giggles and shivers, this picture book relies on the power of humor over fear, appeals to a child's love for creatures both alarming and absurd, and glorifies the scope of a child's imagination. One night, when Ethan checks under his bed for his monster, Gabe, he finds a note from him instead: "Gone fishing. Back in a week." Ethan knows that without Gabe's familiar nightly scares he doesn't stand a chance of getting to sleep, so Ethan interviews potential substitutes to see if they've got the right equipment for the job—pointy teeth, sharp claws, and a long tail—but none of them proves scary enough for Ethan. When Gabe returns sooner than expected from his fishing trip, Ethan is thrilled. It turns out that Gabe didn't enjoy fishing because the fish scared too easily.
