I trust that as readers read both A, Is for Abuela (book 1) and Lolitas Christmas Angel (book 2), they see two worlds combine into one by the power of education and a loving family. Lolita is now entering her second semester of kindergarten and once again is presented with a choicego to school or go to Cuba. Unfortunately for her, her dad chooses school. This causes Lolita to feel disappointed, but Mrs. McAllister, the best teacher ever, comes to the rescue with her show-and-tell day. Now Lolita has the opportunity to share with her class a family tradition that means the world to her. She brings to life her grandfathers famous Caja China, and life brings on an entirely new meaning.

A, Is for Abuela

By: Cynthia S. De Las Salas

A, Is for Abuela depicts the story of an ELL students first day of school, the events leading to it, and the connection she makes with her teacher despite the language barriers. It is written in English with Spanish phrases, and it is a story that connects both our ELL students and their educators in the simplest of ways. It tells a story about family, love, and education. It comes from a place of personal experience. Reading about Lolita and her first day of school will help students and educators alike to understand the immense role they play in each others lives. Making that connection with your first teacher here in the United States is not easy. But when that teacher is Ms. McCallister, a woman who pushed through the barriers to see how Lolita was feeling, it reminds us what it means to truly educate our students not only intellectually, but also academically.
