SO MANY QUESTIONS: ABUELA BECOMES A US CITIZEN written by Belen Medina, illustrated Heidi Moreno


Now is a perfect time to share Belen Medina’s SO MANY QUESTIONS: ABUELA BECOMES A US CITIZEN! Text and illustrations by Heidi Moreno show a personal view of the path to citizenship as Anita aids her grandmother in studying for her test to become a US citizen. The book begins with a flyleaf that asks 128 questions used for the citizenship test. Before the end flyleaf answers these, there is a wonderful Author’s Note about Medina’s inspiring grandmother who became a citizen after living in America for 50 years. Between there are wonderful vignettes of Anita asking questions in the barrio, at the mercado and her Abuelita answering each correctly. This a marvelous intergenerational story, a view of what it takes to gain citizenship and questions most Americans may not be able to answer. Find out more in the Purchase link below.
