“Lush, evocative.” —School Library Journal “Raul Colón’s art…has a sweetness that’s sometimes tinged with anxiety, sometimes with hope. A fine addition to books about the immigrant experience.” —Booklist “This gentle look back at an important time will also speak to contemporary children whose families are starting anew in the United States.” —Publishers Weekly When five year old Gabriella hears talk of Castro and something called revolution in her home in Cuba, she doesn't understand. Then when her parents leave suddenly and she remains with her grandparents, life isn't the same. Soon the day comes when she goes to live with her parents in a new place called the Bronx. It isn't warm like Havana, and there is traffic not the ocean outside her window. Their life is different—it snows in the winter and the food at school is hot dogs and macaroni. What will it take for the Bronx to feel like home?

Una niña se adapta a su nueva vida en el Bronx después de que su familia huye de Cuba en 1960 en este «exuberante, evocador» (School Library Journal) libro para niños, ahora disponible en español. Cuando a los seis años de edad, Gabriella escucha que los adultos hablan de algo llamado “una revolución” en su Cuba natal, no entiende lo que eso significa. Poco después, todo cambia cuando de repente sus padres se van del país, y ella se queda con sus abuelos. Pronto llega el día en el que se va a vivir con sus padres a un lugar llamado el Bronx. Su vida ahí es diferente —el clima es frío, los edificios son altísimos, y todos hablan inglés—. ¿Qué hará falta para que ella sienta que el Bronx es su hogar? «El arte de Raúl Colón… tiene una dulzura que a veces se tiñe de ansiedad, a veces de esperanza. Una buena adición a los libros sobre la experiencia inmigrante». —Booklist «Esta suave mirada a un momento importante en el pasado también les hablará a los niños de hoy cuyas familias comienzan una nueva vida en Estados Unidos». —Publishers Weekly

With the world visibly present in students' lives through technology, mass and social medias, economic interdependency, and global mobility, it is more important than ever to develop curriculum that is intercultural. In Teaching Globally: Reading the World Through Literature, a community of educators show us how to use global children's literature to help students explore their own cultural identities. Edited by Kathy Short, Deanna Day, and Jean Schroder, this book explains why global curriculum is important and how you can make space for it within district and state school mandates. Teaching Globally is built around a curriculum framework developed by Short and can help teachers integrate a global focus into existing literacy and social studies curricula, evaluate global resources, guide students as they investigate cross-cultural issues, and create classroom activities with an intercultural perspective. Filled with vignettes from K-8 urban, suburban, and rural schools that describe successes and struggles, Teaching Globally aims to integrate global literature into classrooms and challenge students to understand and accept those different from themselves. The book also includes extensive lists of recommendations, websites, professional books, and an appendix of global text sets as mentioned by the authors. '
