Amada Irma Pérez

This book is an autobiography about Amada Irma Perez who as a young girl moved to California from Mexico. Amada's story is told in the form of diary entries. While Amada's parents await new opportunities in California, Amada cannot help but think of how hard it will be to leave her friends and worry about not being able to learn English. Amada is scared of the new changes to come but with the loving help of her family, Amada begins to adjust to the new changes in her life. I recommend this book because it teaches children that they can be strong when they are scared of new changes.… (altro)
