At home she's Estelita. At school she's Stella. Stella knows her Mexican heritage makes her different form the other kids at school. No one else speaks Spanish at home or has an accent. Stella loves her family, but she doesn't always like being different. Now her class is going to dance around the Maypole at the school's May parade, and Stella wants her tulip costume to be special. Even if she won't look like the other girls, sometimes being different can be exciting. This touching story that celebrates diversity is based on author Pat Mora's mother's childhood and is brought to life by Elizabeth Sayles's evocative paintings.Mora, Pat is the author of 'Rainbow Tulip' with ISBN 9780142500095 and ISBN 0142500097.
