Summary of Book:
This is a great book that is written in both Spanish and English. It is about a granddaughter and her grandmother and their adventures as they imagine that they can fly. I really like this book because the illustrations are awesome, and there are a lot of Spanish phrases used throughout the book. This would be great to dissect in a multicultural classroom. I also like that it shows the value of grandparents are the same for many cultures. I would read this book to my class while we were studying different cultures. I would then have them share their values of each of their cultures with each other. It is also introduces a few Spanish words that could jump start a Spanish lesson.
