Better than a classroom textbook

I came across this book while taking a graduate level class in education. Within the 100 pages you will find tons of 'kid oriented' information about America's Hispanic culture. Some of the sections include history, biographies, 'famous firsts', food, entertainment, dances, celebrations, art, music, stories, language, crafts, games, literature, and facts and figures of real-life people. Also, I found the index to be especially helpful when answering the specific questions of my children and students. Any teacher who teaches a Hispanic unit in his/her classroom, would need this book and ONLY this book to adequately cover America's Hispanic heritage.
