I agree with the other comments– Julia Alvarez's books are great, both her children's books as well as those for adults.
Another day, another entry- and I still think they should offer more children's books – I'm sure there must be some dominican authors that write for children.
I'm a Bilingual teacher and would love to share some stories/books from my culture. I would love to see more picture books by Dominican authors.
IN THE NAME OF SALOME by Julia Alvarez or THE FARMING OF BONES by Edwidge Danticat…..both are great!!
Just re-read 'In the time of Butterflies' (Las hermanas Mirabal) by Julia Alvarez while in the DR which was perfect as, although it's a novel, it gives you an insight in Dominican history. Am planning to read her other books too!
Su seleccion de libros infantiles es bien limitada. Me gustaria ver mas libros de cuentos apropiados para ninos de primaria. This might also be a bit of a stretch, but educational books by Susaeta (lectura, ortografia, ciencias, matematicas)
I haven't read it yet, but The Last Playboy: The High Life of Porfirio Rubirosa looks facinating!
