Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Una historia multicultural que ayudará a los más pequeños a sentirse cómodos en sus nuevas escuelas y a descubrir las alegrías que pueden encontrar en las nuevas comunidades. Un álbum ilustrado lleno de imaginación, que celebra el poder del amor. Gloriana está nerviosa. Es su primer día en la escuela primaria. Su abuela la calma contándole historias sobre su hogar en la República Dominicana. Pero tan pronto Gloriana entra al salón de clases, sus recuerdos del paisaje tropical se desvanecen y empieza a escuchar frases en inglés que ella no comprende. Cuando los niños se acercan para invitarla a jugar, Gloriana se paraliza. Se siente insegura. ¿Cómo existir entre lugares e idiomas tan diferentes? ¿Cómo hacer nuevos amigos hablando dos idiomas? Abuela reconoce ecos de su propio viaje como emigrante en ese primer día de escuela de Gloriana, y la guía para que descubra la confianza en sí misma y en sus culturas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An affirming multicultural story that will help new students stand tall and discover the joys of community at school. This beautifully painted, imaginative picture book celebrates the transformative power of self- soothing. On the first day of elementary school, Abuela soothes Gloriana's nerves by telling her stories about their family home in la República Dominicana. But as soon as Gloriana enters the classroom, the tropical scenery crumbles and la música is replaced with English phrases she does not understand. When other kids approach her to play, she freezes, uncertain about how to exist in both of her different homes and how to make new friends using her two languages. Abuela recognizes echoes of her own immigration journey on this challenging day at school, and she gently guides Gloriana toward newfound confidence.
