This month's 30-second booktalk—which is presented in both English and Spanish—comes to us from Dr. Sonia Alejandra Rodriguez, a contributor at Latin@s in Kid Lit, a blog dedicated to exploring Latino/a literature for children and teens. Dr. Rodriguez recommends Julia Alvarez's fantastic middle grade novel, When Tia Lola Came to Stay (Knopf, 2001). Are you a librarian or teacher who loves to recommend books?
