I had heard several times about this cute early chapter book and finally checked it out to read with Graham. We read both books in just a day each (they are so short--each only took us about an hour) and both of us loved them. They are so cute, about a little girl named Juana living in Colombia, who has to learn English in the first one and whose mom is getting married in the second one. I thought Juana was such a sweet character (clearly autobiographical based on the author) and it was so great reading a book set in South America, with a normal little girl living a normal life, learning English and doing things that our kids do. Graham said he wants to go to Bogota after reading this, which I never had considered doing until reading this book too, but Juana makes it sound magical! It was absolutely darling and gets bonus points for adding diversity to our bookshelf. I want to buy them and keep them at our house.
