When she gets an invitation to a special new school that promises to teach her Spanish, not all goes as planned...

This book presents such an amazing story. My daughter is in 5th grade and she attends a public school in Argentina. She will be presenting this book as her favorite one for other students to read in her class. She loves the illustrations that make reading more fun. She read the book 6 times! Her favorite part is when the kids teach Miss Morena sign language. Her favorite character is Miriam and she also loves that after reading the book she learned sign language and the importance of communication.
I highly recommend reading the book and inspiring students to learn life skills while they acquire the language in such a fun way.
