Iveliz Explains It All/Iveliz lo explica todo by Andrea Beatriz Arango

Plátanos Go With Everything / Los Plátanos Van Con Todo by Lissette Norman

Plátanos Go With Everything / Los Plátanos Van Con Todo by Lissette Norman

 Seventh grade is going to be Iveliz’s year. She’s going to make a new friend, help her abuela Mimi get settled after moving from Puerto Rico, and she is not going to get into any more trouble at school. . . .

 Seventh grade is going to be Iveliz’s year. She’s going to make a new friend, help her abuela Mimi get settled after moving from Puerto Rico, and she is not going to get into any more trouble at school. . . .

Except is that what happens? Of course not. Because no matter how hard Iveliz tries, sometimes people say things that just make her so mad. And worse, Mimi keeps saying Iveliz’s medicine is unnecessary—even though it helps Iveliz feel less sad. But how do you explain your feelings to others when you’re not even sure what’s going on yourself? 


 El séptimo grado será el año de Iveliz. Hará nuevos amigos, ayudará a su abuela Mimi a sentirse como en casa luego de mudarse de Puerto Rico y no se meterá en más líos en la escuela…

Pero, ¿es eso lo que sucede? Por supuesto que no. No importa cuánto se esfuerce Iveliz, a veces la gente dice cosas que la enfurecen tanto. Lo que es peor, Mimi sigue diciendo que la medicina de Iveliz no es necesaria, aun cuando la ayuda a sentirse menos triste. ¿Cómo le explicas a otros tus sentimientos cuando ni siquiera estás segura de lo que estás sintiendo?
