Description



About the Book



En 1940, Valentina, de once años, asume nuevas responsabilidades cuando sus hermanos mayores se alistan en la Guardia Nacional en vísperas de la entrada de Estados Unidos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a la vez que lidia con el rechazo a su familia mexicano-estadounidense por parte de la comunidad de Texas. In 1940, eleven-year-old Valentina takes on new responsibilities as her older brothers join the National Guard in the lead-up to the United States' entry into World War II, while also grappling with the lack of acceptance her Mexican American family experiences in their Texas community.



Book Synopsis



Creada en colaboración con el Museo Nacional del Latino Estadounidense del Smithsonian, la serie Nuestras Voces en español comparte historias latinas que inspiran. En 1940, Valentina, de once años, vive en El Paso, Texas, con su mamá, su papá y sus dos hermanos mayores, Hugo y Kiki. A Valentina le encanta leer y aprender, y tiene la esperanza de ir a la universidad y convertirse algún día en profesora y escritora. Su hermano Hugo iba a la universidad, pero ante la inminencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y las ganas de Kiki de alistarse en el ejército, Hugo decide alistarse en la Guardia Nacional con Kiki. Para ayudar a su familia a superar los cambios que trajo la guerra, Valentina se hace cargo de muchas más tareas en la casa. Les escribe a sus hermanos, mantiene a sus padres al tanto de las noticias sobre la guerra y ayuda en el frente de batalla desde su casa, y todo por un país que no está muy segura de que acepte a las familias mexicano-estadounidenses como la suya. En formato de diario, la serie Nuestras Voces en español perfila personajes inspiradores y honra las alegrías, las dificultades y las victorias de las vidas latinas. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Latino, Nuestras Voces shares inspiring Latino stories. In 1940, eleven-year-old Valentina lives in El Paso, Texas, with her Mami, Papi, and two older brothers, Hugo and Kiki. Valentina loves reading and learning, and she hopes to go to college and become a teacher and writer someday. Her brother Hugo was in college, but with World War II looming--and Kiki eager to join the military--Hugo decides to join the National Guard with Kiki. Trying to help her family navigate wartime changes, Valentina takes on a lot more at home. She writes to her brothers, keeps her parents updated on news about the war, and helps with the war effort on the home front--all for a country she's not so sure accepts Mexican American families like her own. In diary format, the Nuestras Voces series profiles inspiring characters and honors the joys, challenges, and outcomes of Latino experiences.
