Illustrated by Lisa Fields
Felicia always feels very small when she
and her mom walk by the huge homes and beautiful gardens to the house where her
mother works as a cleaning lady. "I need you to behave," her mother
says, reminding her of all the things she should and shouldn't do.
But Felicia gets bored, and in spite of
her mother's warnings, begins to explore. She finds a bedroom full of toys. How
she wished that her house looked like this! From a window she sees an inviting
swing set in the back yard, and soon she's breaking all of her mother's rules.
When Mrs. Fitzpatrick comes
outside, Felicia can't help but wonder if the woman knows she was roaming
through the house. To her surprise, the red-headed woman offers her lemonade
and cookies instead of a scolding. Soon the two realize that even though they
live in different worlds they have something in common. This bilingual picture
book will lend itself to conversations about hopes and dreams and the
differences among people.
