To conclude Hispanic Heritage Month, we'd like to highlight this mother/daughter duo. 📗📘 Ms. Rivera, a Dual Language teacher at Julian Thomas Elementary School, wrote this bilingual book and her daughter, Rocio, a student at Gilmore Fine Arts K-8, put her artistic skills to work illustrating this story.
Check out this interview they did in Spanish for Telemundo Wisconsin, introducing The Best of Me for You.
