My Name Is Maria Isabel

I bought this book to be given to immigrant children who are being helped by our local Grannies Respond group that meets the Greyhound busses that arrive at least 3 times a day at our Louisville KY bus station. Immigrant families are on their way to their sponsors or family members in other cities and states; and they usually have nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Some have even arrived without shoes. Grannies Respond provide these families with snacks,water,and some of the bare necessities for their travel. We collect small toys as well as clothes and diapers for the children.

My daughter love this book and she could relate to the story very well since she also have a classmate with the same name. It is not hardcover.

I used this book when I taught 3rd grade. It is a classic read for third graders. It is a powerful story about the importance of one's names and finding one's voice.

Good, easy read for a struggling reader. It's a chapter book, but the chapters are short so it's a quick read. Great for new students adjusting to a new classroom.

This is a very nice book about honoring a name and culture.

Excellent book to be used with TCRWP 3rd grade unit of study. Themes covered within this well-crafted story link to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is a must for all classroom libraries of 2-4th grade!

I purchased this for my college EDBE class. Great book 👍🏼

I got this book for my grandaughter who loves to read and she told me it was very good story. I get her book that are for her age or older and that are interesting and teach you something deep about human beings; morals, learning about self, about giving, about being humple, about being who you want to be, about self respect, etc.
