Snapshots From the Wedding
Written by: Gary Soto
Illustrated by: Stephanie Garcia
Elementary 1-6
"There's nothing like a wedding, and this book about a wedding is not quite like any other. Soto takes readers to a Mexican American nuptial, and young Maya, the flower girl, is the lens through which the action is seen. The language at times is quite sophisticated. Children who have been involved in a family wedding will easily draw comparisons to this story. A glossary provides readers with definitions of words in Spanish used throughout the text. The three dimensional shadow box illustrations add a unique element to this book"
