Book Reviews of My Name is Gabriela/Me llamo Gabriela (Bilingual): The Life of Gabriela Mistral/la vida de Gabriela Mistral
Book Review: Latin American poet
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second book in the bilingual biography Luna Rising series and is a delight and inspirational for young students. It teaches the student about the life of Gabriel Mistral(pen name) who was born Lucila de Mar?a del Perpetuo Socorro Godoy Alcayaga. If you had a name that long wouldn't you make a shorter one up too? She was the first (woman) from Latin America to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her story serves as encouragement for students to learn to love words, to read and write creatively. The book tells how Gabriela used her imagination as a stimulus for writing. She imagined the world beyond her valley in Chile with rainbow-colored flowers, polka dot zebras and angels reading books. Later as an adult she explored and travelled the world and wrote poetry. the bilingual text is complimentary for students whoose first language is Spanish and are learning English. Likewise it can serve to teach English speakers some rudimentary Spanish. The book also includes a more detailed biographical sketch of Gabriela Mistral. The drawing are excellent. They appear to be soft pastel looking but result in vivid displays of color. Children will like them beacsue of their simplicity. If this book appeals to you there is another bilingual biography written by Monica Brown entitled My Name is Celia/Me llamo Celia (Bilingual): The Life of Celia Cruz/la vida de Celia Cruz (Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature. Winner (Awards)) that is very good for children. This book is recommended for community and K-6 libraries.
