But as soon as Gloriana enters the classroom, the tropical scenery crumbles and la música is replaced with English phrases she does not understand. When other kids approach her to play at recess, she freezes, uncertain about how to exist between her two homes, or how to make new friends between her two languages. Abuela recognizes echoes of her own immigration journey on this challenging day at school, and she gently guides Gloriana towards newfound confidence. This beautifully painted, imaginative picture book celebrates the magic of existing in-between, and the transformative power of self-soothing to build confidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An essential read for fans of \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Kindergarten\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlyssa Reynoso-Morris\u003c\/b\u003e is an Afro-Latine Dominican and Puerto Rican author, mother, and community organizer.
