My students come from a variety rich and beautiful home cultures. A significant portion of my class receives services as English Language Learners, and many speak Spanish at home. A few of my students have family members living in Mexico or were even born in Mexico themselves. My students deserve to see their own lives and realities reflected in the literature we read. Esperanza Rising is the perfect novel to highlight and celebrate the Spanish language and Mexican culture in our classroom, while also illustrating the power held by members of this community, especially young girls, when it is necessary to show resilience in the face of extreme challenge.
