Evelyn Del Rey Is Moving Away
The heartbreak of moving is explored with tact and generosity. Daniela goes over to her friend Evelyn’s apartment to play just as they do every day, because she is her mejor amiga. They play games, just like always, and laugh, just like always; but the more Daniela talks about their games, the more readers begin to understand that the girls are about to be parted. Simple and easy to understand, even for non-speakers of Spanish, this book has illustrations and context that help with translation.
