"Cesar Chavez and his fight for the rights of Hispanic agricultural workers is an inspirational story about unity, justice, and perseverance...

"Amador speaks with the wonder of a girl who is exploring the beach she loves so much. On both the English and Spanish tracks her enunciation is distinct.

Starred Review When her Spanish-speaking grandmother comes to live with Mia and her family, Mia is happy but also worried that she won't be able to tell her all the things a granddaughter should because of their language barrier. ... The Amador family, who also narrates the English-language version, creates a delightful and loving interplay among themselves in this Spanish edition.... Upbeat Latin music composed by Brian Amador and appropriate background sound effects round out and enrich the production." Booklist

Forthcoming release
Written and illustrated by Cherokee Nation tribal members, this fast-paced story follows a game of social stickball played by children from two Cherokee communities in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation. Interspersed with the exciting play-by-play of the game is the Tsalagi language (called Cherokee in English) which reflects the importance of keeping the language alive. Vann loves his tribal game but he isn’t as skilled as his teammates. With the coach’s encouragement to work together—gadugi—an important Cherokee value, and the help of his best friend Jesse, Vann overcomes his self doubt in this uplifting story of team spirit and collaboration. Includes a Tsalagi glossary and notes about stickball and language.
