 Tina Springs into Summer
/ Tina se lanza al verano,
written in both
Spanish and English, is a book that I
believe will contribute to children's enjoyment and
learning by being read and discussed in either or both
languages within the same classroom. A classroom of
children from different language backgrounds can be a
frightening specter for some and a resentful bore for
others. Part of my purpose in writing this book is to
reduce that tension and to optimize the educational
experience for each language group.
Targeted at the middle
grades, the story centers around Tina, an 11-year-old girl
who lives in a multi-ethnic, middle-class city
neighborhood. She is biracial and bilingual, and her
friends come from a mix of cultures found in many modern
urban communities. The story itself reflects the situation
of the students who read it. The subject matter is
current, timely and occasionally humorous, and should hold
the interest of children of varying ages. -
