Finding the magic in a place is so important. Ren discovers this when he has to leave his rural home and move to the big city. A book about home and about friends, I appreciated the colorful illustrations. Letter N #PictureBook #BBRC

“A New Kind of Wild” written and illustrated by Zara González Hoang

Represented in the book are two different worlds: A rural Puerto Rican town and the 'wild' bustling NYC. This story of Ren and Ava sharing each others story of 'home' would be a wonderful book to read with a partner. This could help facilitate a conversation between two peers on their own cultures, community, and family.

ToddSalerno Helpful conversation starters are utilized with this resource. Focusing on text to self connections and relating the text to ones own community will create deeper connections. (ESOL 24- Incorporate the culture and the language of second language learners in your curriculum.) (UDL- 2.4 Promote understanding across languages.)
