When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure what the diversity was going to be. I wasn't sure if it was going to focus on the Latino aspect or the Owen's disability. What I found was that it didn't really matter. They were both apparent throughout the book and neither over shadowed the text. There were many questions to ponder and lots of dilemmas to discuss. Although this was not my favorite book that we have read this semester I was definitely intrigued by the great amount of discussions that I think classrooms can have on a plethora of issues.
On a different note, I was thinking about our "celebs who have written children's books" and I found that John Travolta has written a story called, Propeller One-Way Night Coach and Will Smith has a book coming out in April called, Just The Two of Us.(Yes, just like the song).
