Unwrapping Some Illustrations for you
The Book
Rafael is a sweet Latino boy who loves his toys and playtime. His baby sister Essie always seems to be destroying and disrupting those peaceful times and he's had enough. While Essie is taking her nap Rafael gathers objects from around the house and constructs a wall in his bedroom to play behind sans Essie. He works hard at measuring and configuring shapes and sizes to make the wall secure. Will his ingenious plan work? Has he calculated a barrier that is wide, tall and strong enough to keep the little intruder at bay?
Rafael finally discovers that his rambunctious little sister doesn't really want to wreck his toys and playtime but her motives are much more endearing.
This book introduces mathematical principals and I love the Spanish words that the author has embedded throughout the story. He has included a glossary at the end of the Spanish vocabulary used. The relatable illustrations are very well done with lots of emotions and action. I highly recommend this book.
