Description
A sharp and heartfelt picture book about a young soccer-loving girl whos an interpreter for her Spanish-speaking parents.
Some kids have one job: to be a kid! Cecilia has two. When she isnt on the soccer field scoring goals, shes accompanying her parents to all kinds of grown-up places, like the DMV, the accountants office, and the auto shop. She helps them translate from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. Its an important job, and it can even be fun. Its also hard work.
Sometimes Cecilias second job is so much responsibility, it feels like shell split in two! Is it time for Cecilia to blow her whistle and call for a time-out?
Olivia Abtahis clever text and Monica Arnaldos charming illustrations capture a common aspect of life for immigrant and bilingual families while offering a model for teamwork that helps everyone feel understood.
