The spitfire heroine Pepita has been given a school assignment to "find out things" about her parents or another older member of her family. But who wants to hear about her ...
Gr 2-4-In this pleasant tale with a simple message, Pepita, a spunky, imaginative, and engaging protagonist, must interview her relatives and write a report for school. Pepita worries that neither her parents nor her Aunt Rosa will have anything important or exciting to say, and after interviewing them, her fears seem confirmed. But as she wonders how to embellish her report, the girl comes to realize that her relatives' humdrum, everyday activities are actually very important. The text pages are quite full, with about 200 words of English text at the top and the same amount in Spanish at the bottom. The translation is not stilted or burdened by hard-to-convert colloquialisms in either language. Warm, cartoonish illustrations render quite expressive characters. Recommended for all collections.

Pepita Finds Out/lo que Pepita Descubre
In this book, Pepita is assigned to interview people for a school project. She begins to ask many different animals pretending she can talk to them, and making stories up that she thinks would be very interesting. Then she starts to interview her family members, but thinks that their responses are boring and her class won't enjoy her presentation. Towards the end she realizes that even if their stories aren't the most interesting, its who they are and what they do, and that's why she loves them. As a teacher I can use this book to show students to appreciate what their parents do as their jobs, and how hard they work to take care of them. The author, Ofelia Dumas Lachtman, who was born to Mexican immigrant parents, and the illustrator, Alex Pardo Delange, is a Venezuelan artist, and can relate to Pepita's culture. This book relates to my topic in that, I believe, the majority of Latinos are extremely hard workers, and it shows children to appreciate their parents more.
