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.

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.
