About this book

Español

Me Llamo Maria Isabel

Para María Isabel Salazar López lo más difícil de empezar en una nueva escuela es que la maestra no la llama por su verdadero nombre. Como ya hay dos Marías en la clase, la maestra decide llamarla Mary. Pero María Isabel lleva ese nombre en honor a su abuela paterna y a su querida abuelita puertorriqueña, Chabela. Ahora deberá encontrar el valor para hacerle comprender a su maestra que perder su nombre es perder la parte más importante de sí misma. Una historia entrañable sobre identidad, herencia y autoestima.

English

My Name Is Maria Isabel

For María Isabel Salazar López, starting at a new school is hard enough—but the hardest part is that her teacher won't call her by her real name. With two Marías already in the class, the teacher decides to call her Mary instead. But María Isabel was named in loving memory of her grandmother and her beloved Puerto Rican abuela, Chabela. Now she must find the courage to help her teacher understand that losing her name means losing the most important part of who she is. A warm, moving story about identity, heritage, and self-respect.
