On My Island There's a Rainbow Elizabeth Burke

A color description of the beauty of Puerto Rico, as seen through the eyes of a child. Written in "Spanglish" this book introduces basic Spanish words and icons of Puerto Rican culture in language accessible to both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking children. The protagonist, a young Puerto Rican girl, takes a metaphorical trip through the colors of the rainbow, as they represented on the island of Puerto Rico. A unique treat for children (and adults!) both on the island and off, particularly for those who speak English, pero en español or español, but in English.
