(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Small. This compelling story records the tough first months of Isabel's life after her family immigrates to America from Mexico. Through letters to her auntie, Isabel describes learning a different language and having new experiences; she also describes how she finds comfort and safety inside the empty boxes she collects and decorates. An intimate immigration story, movingly reinforced by Small's colorful and dynamic illustrations.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
