 An
engaging bilingual picture book about a boy’s clever efforts to help his
classmates understand a Hispanic cultural tradition.  "On the first
day at my new school, my teacher, Miss Soria, gave me a sticker that said
René Colato. The sticker was missing my second last name. Maybe Miss Soria's
pen ran out of ink. I took my pencil and added it. Now it looked right: René
Colato Laínez."  Young René is from El Salvador, and he doesn't
understand why his name has to be different in the United States. When he writes
Colato, he sees his paternal grandparents, René and Amelia. When he writes Laínez,
he sees his maternal grandparents, Angela and Julio. Without his second last
name, René feels incomplete, "like a hamburger without the meat or a
pizza without cheese or a hot dog without a wiener."  His new
classmates giggle when René tells them his name. "That's a long dinosaur
name," one says. "Your name is longer than an anaconda," another
laughs. But René doesn't want to lose the part of him that comes from his
mother's family. So when the students are given a project to create a family
tree, René is determined to explain the importance of using both of his
last names. On the day of his presentation, René explains that he is as hard
working as Abuelo René, who is a farmer, and as creative as his
Abuela Amelia, who is a potter. He can tell stories like his Abuelo Julio and
enjoys music like his Abuela Angela.  This charming bilingual picture book
for children ages 4-8 combines the winning team of author René Colato Laínez
and illustrator Fabiola Graullera Ramírez, and follows their award-winning
collaboration, I Am René, the Boy / Soy René, el niño. With whimsical
illustrations and entertaining text, this sequel is sure to please fans and gain
many new ones while explaining an important Hispanic cultural tradition.
