Hello, Amigos by Tricia Brown is a good biography for a few reasons. For starters, the diction within this biography sheds light on different vocabulary within the Spanish culture. "My brother Gabriel wishes me a Feliz Cumpleanos-that means Happy Birthday in Spanish", sentences like these can be found within this book which educate the reader on Spanish vocabulary while providing a detailed storyline of the life of Frankie. In addition, I found the voice of this biography to be interesting because it is told through the words of a young, school aged child. "After recess we study English. I like English best when I get the right answer", quotes like these are typical ways that a child may think about certain subjects. This element of the biography is how it may attract the young reader because there are many ways they can relate to Frankie and his life. Hello, Amigos is a great biography with its use of academically rich diction and relatable narrator voice. ( )

This was a good book for several reasons. The pictures were interesting, and gave a good look into the life of Frankie Valdez, a Mexican American child. I also very much enjoyed the point of view. The story was told by Frankie It was very relatable, especially to young Mexican American children or bilingual children. I will certainly use this book in the classroom one day. The big idea of this book was family. The majority of Frankie's day revolved around him and his interaction with his brothers, sisters, and parents, and I think it could help teach children how important family is. ( )

It is about a young mexican boy and the events that happen during his birthday from getting ready, going to school, and celebrating his birthday at home. ( )
