Tía Isa Wants A Car
by Meg Medina
illustrated by Claudio Muñoz
Tía Isa wants a car. But money is tight. Even so, she confides in her niece, who secretly works small jobs around the neighborhood to help her Tía. And one day, they have enough.
Tía Isa Wants A Car is an inspirational read for young girls that shows how, with a little hard work and determination, anyone can take charge of their own life and make their dreams come true.
Meg Medina is an accomplished storyteller and uses vivid imagery to develop her characters and enrich the story line. Readers will enjoy her dialogue and easy style.
Tía Isa is written with full text in English with a few Spanish words embedded in the text. A Spanish language edition of the book is scheduled to be released in 2012.
Claudio Muñoz’s illustrations bring to life the lovable characters in this book. His soft watercolor palette complements the sweet and lyrical story line. And it captures the time period perfectly.
Tomorrow, we’ll share an interview with the author, but for now, here is a trailer that she made for the book:
