My Name is Gabriela/Me Llamo Gabriela (Bilingual): The Life of Gabriela Mistral/La Vida de Gabriela Mistral
Written by Monica Brown • Illustrated by John Parra • Cooper Square Publishing Llc.
My Name is Gabriela describes the life of the Chilean-born poet who began teaching at the young age of 15, and who subsequently traveled all over the world in an effort to improve schools. Noted for the many contributions she made to the education system of Latin America, Mistral became the first Latin American writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Brown does a great job of writing the story in a way that young children are able to relate to the young and imaginative Gabriela. This book is perfect for inspiring children to use their imaginations and encouraging them to learn to read and write. This book comes with full text in English and Spanish. For children ages 4 and up.
