The Book
Maria and Mateo are both second graders who are talented and love being up on stage. It's audition day and both are extremely excited to try out for a part in their school play.
When it's Maria's turn she gets so nervous and scared that she experiences stage fright. Oh NOOOO! Her loving teacher kindly steps in to help her. She teaches Maria a wonderful life lesson. Stage fright can happen to anyone and the art of improvisation can save the day!
I love the diversity of the students and that the author includes Spanish words throughout the story. The beautiful illustrations are vibrant, full of emotion, and relatable. There is a glossary at the back which gives additional information. I love the book and highly recommend it!
