Isabel and her Colores Go to School

(English and Spanish Edition, edicion bilingüe)
por Alexandra Alessandri, Courtney Dawson

"Al mal tiempo, buena cara,"

Cuando se despertó, Isabel corrió hacia mami.
Su corazón latía tin, tin, tin, como lluvia de verano.
-No quiero ir- Isabel pataleó en la cocina.
-I don't want to go- se quejó desda la puerta.
Please, por favor-rogó dentro del carro.

English, with its blustery blues and whites, just feels wrong to Isabel. She prefers the warm oranges and pinks of Spanish. As she prepares for class at a new school, she knows she's going to have to learn--and she would rather not! Her first day is uncomfortable, until she discovers there's more than one way to communicate with friends. This is a universal story about feeling new and making new friends.
