I am a European mother of a Hispanic daughter.  This book is a wonderful tool to help provide her with some role models for her take pride in her place as Hispanic and female.  As a teacher I take the unpopular view that it would be the duty of the parents to teach ethnicity and tradition to their children.  Not all teachers and schools are properly equipped or knowledgeable to adequately do the job and be fair to all minorities attending any one school.  There is not enough teaching time during the day as it is to teach students the basics of what they need, especially since we are now  required to overwhelm them with standardized test preparation.  It is time for parents to step back up to the plate and books like this are good starting points.
