This is a beautifully portrayed description in both words and photographs Latinos' heritage of dancing, Somos Latinos. In the story we learn about the lives of children and their families.
Curriculum connections. This would be a great book to use during a year long study of Spanish Americans. It could be used also to study Spanish vocabulary. Students could do a research project of the different dances and how they used in family celebrations and everyday life. It would be a good to add the other books in this series to a unit of study; mis amigos my friends, mi casa my house, i escuela my school.
