Book Reviews of In My Family/En mi familia
Book Review: Traditions, Traditions!
Summary: 5 Stars
Written By: Carmen Lomas Garza
Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award Winner
In My Family/En Mi Familia is a great book. It is a great way for anyone to learn about the Mexican heritage and various traditions and celebrations that they share. I have lived in San Antonio for the last 16 years and have never fully known much about the Mexican/American's and their traditions and the meaning behind their celebrations. This was a really easy book to read. The author shares personal experiences and things that are special to her about her heritage and brings them to life with beautiful, detailed illustrations. I learned SO much in the short amount of time to read this book about the culture and traditions and found it fascinating. It gave a new meaning to me on how I view the Mexican/American culture now. It is a great teaching tool as well. I will most definitely use it in my future classroom!
