Soledad Sigh-Sighs / Soledad suspiros

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rosa Ibarra. Every day Soledad comes home from school to a lonely, empty house. With the help of her imagination, she finds ways to alleviate her boredom and appreciate the time she has to herself. This lengthy text, in both Spanish and English, aptly portrays the plight of kids without after-school programs. While figures in the illustrations are occasionally awkward, the colorful minimalist style is effective.
