Sol A Sol - Multicultural Literature

I've always had a heart for ELL students, and this book seems like a great way to reach those students that struggle connecting Spanish to English. It's a book of bilingual poems - actually, each poem shows up on the same page in both Spanish and English, and there are also fun illustrations that go along with each poem. The subject matter of the poems are everyday things, such as the love of a mother or the sounds children make. I think the organic nature of these poems would really speak to children, and the bilingual style can open linguistic curiosity in English and Spanish speakers alike! This is a multicultural book and could work wonders for making your students start thinking about the world outside of their own family experience.  It would fit into my classroom as a book that would spark interest in any multicultural unit, and it would also fit for activities focusing on different types of families.
