When his Spanish-speaking mother makes an unexpected visit to his classroom, second-grader Tomasito is angry and embarrassed…until he discovers that his mother and teacher actually want to get to know each other better in order to help him learn. A Children's Story and Family Involvement ResourceThis bilingual storybook about family involvement at school is designed to engage children and their families. For educators, the printable online storybook is an easy-to-use family involvement tool that supports literacy. The story was developed from research and is based on the real experiences of one Latino boy and his family who are acculturating to the U.S. We hope that the storybook, full of vibrant illustrations by award-winning children's book illustrator Joe Cepeda, as well as information for families and story discussion questions, will delight children, parents, and teachers alike.
