Playing
on the phrase, "the author and you"--a common reading comprehension
strategy that teaches the learner how to look at the words of an author and make
inferences about what is being said--this series helps the teacher and
teacher-librarian understand the underlying purposes of an author as they
prepare learning activities for their students. The series focuses primarily on
books for the elementary age child (K-6), featuring insights into the author's
background, purposes and goals in writing his books. By furnishing an overview
of the author's works, the books in the series give teachers the big picture.
Each book features personal information about the author, including insight into
why he writes the type of books he does. In addition, lesson plans and/or
activities are offered for each of the author's books featured. Lessons stress
the particular interests of the author so the "author and you (the
teacher)" can build a collaborative instructional relationship using the
material provided. Each book is written by the featured author or in close
collaboration with her. This second book in the series features the life and
work of prolific author, Alma Flor Ada, discussing her life and work as a
bilingual children's author. Because Alma Flor has compiled such a large volume
of work, the series will feature two volumes about her. The first volume focuses
on her life and her picture books for children. Discussion of Alma Flor's
childhood in Cuba, her schooling in Europe, and her immigration to America is
interwoven with discussions of her children's picture books. The reader thus
learns the genesis for the ideas and the stories. This book provides a
fascinating window into the life and work of the beloved children's author and
her desire to help children develop the writer within. Grades K-6.
MultiCultural Review : This two-volume set on the highly prolific Cuban-American children's writer and translator includes, in the first volume, information about her family heritage; her life in Cuba, Europe, and America; and her process of creating original children's books. The second volume, to be published later, will contain her insights on retelling folktales and legends and working in both English and Spanish.
