      Dr Guerra,
      Reviewing your book was an amazing experience, as an ESL teacher for 15 years and now a Family Literacy Program Manager. This book is exactly the tool that is needed to bring immigrant families together to read, learn and dream about their students education. Thank you so very much! We will be using this book in our Family Literacy program and I am so excited to see the parents and children’s eyes light up and dreams grow as they read your story. Thank you so so much!!!

    Today our Family Literacy Program Celebrated with families reading “Maybe Something Beautiful” and then making collaborative art for our childcare space! Being a reviewer for this amazing event has been so enriching to me both personally and professionally as well as a great gift of diverse books to our ESL Family Literacy parents and their families! Thank you so much for this opportunity. It has been an absolute JOY!
    Warmly,
