Illustrated by
Martha Aviles.
Recent immigrant Amelia decides to wear her fiesta dress from Cuba for show-and-tell. At school she discovers that all the other show-and-tell items are in a basket, but all ends well when she demonstrates how her dress "talks" when she dances. The bilingual text and colorful illustrations nicely incorporate images from Amelia's island life.
