Below are the responses I received for my target of an ELL topic book for elem.
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
One Green Apple by Eve Bunting
Tomas and the Library Lady by Pat Mora
In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson
I Hate English
Becoming Alice : a memoir
by Alice Rene
Who Belongs Here
The perfect book is Aliki's Painted Words/Spoke Memories. -
An actual memoir Good Fortune: My journey to Gold Mountain by Li Keng Wong
Crazy, Mixed-Up Spanglish Day (Get Ready for Gabi Series #1)
by Marisa Montes, Joe Cepeda (Illustrator)
Lowji Discovers America
by Candace Fleming which is a fiction chapter book about a boy from India. He is
not all that happy to be in America and misses everything from back home.
The perfect book is Aliki's Painted Words/Spoke Memories.
Two that I have are La Mariposa, by Francisco Jimenez, about a young Mexican boy in
a classroom in California, and the Color of Hope, by Mary Hoffman, about a boy from
Somalia, on his first day of school in the U.S..
I just finished Home of the Brave by Applegate and it would be wonderful for this
teacher if he or she works with older students (4th and up) and wants a fiction
title to read aloud.
