Braids/Trencitas
by Kathleen
Contreras
Illustrated by Margaret
Lindmark
This
bilingual story shows the importance of family and of reading, while also
emphasizing the rewards of passing along cultural traditions. Beautiful
illustrations portray the moving story of Bela and her grandma, who love to
tell stories, braid hair, and play lotería with the family: 'Our stories, like
our braids, bind us forever.'
Este
cuento bilingüe muestra la importancia de la familia y de la lectura, a la
misma vez que enfatiza el valor de la herencia cultural. Con sus ilustraciones
simpáticas y accesibles, retrata la historia conmovedora de Bela y su abuela.
Juntas se cuentan historias la una a la otra, se trenzan el pelo y juegan a la
lotería con los otros miembros de la familia: 'Nuestras historias, como nuestras
trenzas, nos unen para siempre'.
Pan Dulce
Por Kathleen Contreras
Illustrado por Blanca Dorantes
Siempre compramos nuestro pan dulce en la Panaderia Herrera. Don
Pancho aprendió el arte de ser panadero en México. Después se lo enseño a sus
hijos. ¡A mi, me encantan las conchas dulces!
