The girl in this story has recently arrived in Brooklyn with her family. On her very first day at school she meets a girl who almost instantly becomes her very best friend. She feels known, loved and accepted by her. But when she invites her friend to come for dinner with her family — a family that feels free to eat weird food and, even worse, burst into song with their version of a sentimental classic of longing and homesickness — something shifts and she no longer feels safe at all. What will it be like tomorrow at school?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning illustrator Alfonso Ruano’s art beautifully depicts the depth of feeling that the friends experience in this story from acclaimed author and translator Elisa Amado, about how difficult it is to come from somewhere else and what a difference friendship can make.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nsong lyrics\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.3\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDescribe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.6\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCompare and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","published_at":"2021-10-27T15:38:33-04:00","created_at":"2021-10-27T15:35:01-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 4 -

They trudge through the snow, their dog bounding along beside them, then a slushy, steamy bus ride takes them to the tobogganing hill for some winter fun. The boy describes all the sights and sounds of the day, from the frost in Dad’s beard and the snow “pillows” in the park, to the noisy clunking snow plows and the singing buskers they pass on their way home.
