"SO MUCH"

The book "So Much" was a great story about a Hispanic family that was throwing a surprise birthday party for the father. I would read this to my students in a classroom setting because it teaches values that are important in the Hispanic culture. Commonly, Caucasian families don't live by each other. Grandma and Grandpa may live in another state. In this book the whole family from aunties, cousins, uncles, and both sets of grandparents were present. The book teaches that family is important to the Hispanic culture. I would read the story and have a group discussion about why they liked the story. Then we would talk about all of the different characters in the story and how they made the baby feel loved.
