We did a mini genre project at work over the past few months. My genre was multicultural books and due in June. I'll be sharing a few of the books here. Below is my annotation:

Ten-year-old Cuban-Jewish Ruthie Mizrahi has recently emigrated from Cuba to Queens, NY with her family. She's smart, but she doesn't feel so smart at her new school where she's held back because her English isn't good.

Everything is looking up until Ruthie's involved in a serious car accident and winds up in a full body cast unable to move or take care of herself. 7y

aLmYbNeNr Set in the 1960s, Lucky Broken Girl is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel in which Ruthie questions mortality. Taken at face value, this may sound dreary, but Ruthie's questioning leads to humor and looking on the bright side as she interacts with a truly diverse cast of characters. Themes include the immigrant experience and resilience. Suggested for readers who enjoy Rita Williams-Garcia. 7y
