Summary: This book is a bilingual
poetry book that has a bright and beautiful image to look at on every two page
spread. Love to Mama is written by different poets that have each had memorable
‘mom moments’ and would like to have a dedication given to their mothers,
grandmothers or great grandmothers.
In the classroom: I would use this book to segue Mother’s
Day or I would use it with Hispanic students in my class to help them adjust to
English only books.
