A young girl has a school assignment to find five words that describe themselves. What I like about this book is that the girl is bilingual and comes from a bilingual family, and the book waits to explain some of the words until the glossary at the end. Most of them can be figured out with story context or illustrated clues, but I love how this has been done. I also love how this book shows that just because you get down doesn’t mean you can’t get up that you can’t turn someone else’s hurtful words into something else, but you can rise above them. This was a fun read that I think many kids could enjoy.
