Illustrated by
Viviana Garofoli.
This bilingual rhyming text smoothly incorporates Spanish words, defined both in context and in a preceding glossary, into its lively story. A toad feels inferior to her handsome, trophy-winning brother until she sings a solo in a talent contest and wins first prize. Brightly colored cartoon illustrations capture Sophie's shining moment.
