#LetterK #AlphabetGame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks One of my books from Spanish-speaking countries.
This is my #DS for #BookSpinBingo for November. One more book for a Bingo! I read this as my Guatemala book in #ReadtheSpanish-speakingWorld challenge put to me by my daughter. It is a memoir of Claudia‘s childhood, her emigration to the US, and her return to Guatemala told in verse and prose. It was an engaging story and I liked it very much. #138 #BookSpinBingo #DS20 #BFC21 #ReadtheSpanish-speakingWorld #RIFHolidayReadingChallenge #CSRC
Claudia D. Hernández tells the story of her childhood in Guatemala (Mayuelas and Tactic), of moving with her mother to the United States, of returning both places. The story is sometimes poetry, sometimes in multiple languages.⤵️
A moving memoir told through essays and poems about the author‘s childhood in Guatemala and migrating to the US at the age of 10. It‘s a very slice-of-life book, full of the details that a child remembers about playing with neighbors, the oddities of the neighborhood, and being raised by strong women.
