Elena’s Story

Elena
tries to find her place in the family as she helps out with her two younger
siblings, as well as helping her mother with housework. The family realizes the importance of
reading, when she reads aloud to her brother to get him to go to sleep.
Elena's story is a great picture book to share with students and discuss the cultural differences of people around us. It was an eye opener for me, as I witnessed this family's structure. I wondered how many of my students' families were structured this way.
