I’m thrilled to share that the Spanish edition of STELLA DÍAZ DREAMS BIG received a starred review from School Library Journal. Here is what they have to say about STELLA DÍAZ SUENA EN GRANDE:
“Author/illustrator Dominguez’s third book in her “Stella Díaz” series brings the fourth grader into closer contact with her aspirations. Passionate about saving oceans, Stella leads her maritime after-school club into new depths as they negotiate how to best change local minds to support common conservation efforts. Newly independent Spanish-language readers will be inspired by this edition of Stella Dreams Big to enjoy working with school friends instead of competing against them. Will Stella balance new interests with her commitment to the club she started? Translator Vidal brings home how, together with her classmates, Stella figures out that anyone can be a leader if they have the right attitude. At tale’s end, readers can join Stella and the Mosqueros to save the ocean by signing on to their cause via the website link provided. Once again Dominguez takes her Mexican American childhood experiences a step further to realize dreams, providing a way for protagonist Stella to cruise control through some overwhelming decisions, cutting across waves of anxiety to steer her own course, and find her true North. The conflict resolution feels authentic to the characters and the community that the author has created. Charming black-and-white illustrations break up the text. VERDICT Purchase for all Spanish-language chapter book collections.–Sharon Sherman“
