My Very Own Room / Mi propio cuartito (English and Spanish Edition)

It’s a good book for little ones to read, especially if they are bilingual totally recommend.

Sweet story of a young girl coping with her family’s move with positive loving observations

Great book!! One of my seeet girls took it home so her mom could read to her in Spanish:)

A lovely little story, and lovely for teaching first person narrative. However, if you're looking for mentor texts for teaching memoir, this is *not* a memoir. Although it's based on a real experience from the author's life, at no point does she stand outside the experience and reflect back on it and what it meant to her. I'm happy to have the book in my classroom, but I won't be using it in my memoir unit.

So cute for my 10 year old niece who still has to share a room with her two younger sisters! So relatable and loving!

I enjoyed reading this story, and I am not even the audience it is aimed at. (I'm an adult with no Latino heritage.) I highly recommend it, especially for Latino children who want to learn about their language and their heritage.

Loved the book for old memories

This author writes THE BEST books for sharing with students who have recently transitioned from one country to another. I use it with my newcomers and we all enjoy and take comfort for Amada's experiences!
