Reina Ramos Works It Out

Otheguy, Emma

REINA RAMOS WORKS IT OUT is the first title in a new Level Two I Can Read! series about Reina Ramos, a loyal friend whose high-spirited antics sometimes cause chaos, but who always finds a way to make things right. 

For wax museum day at school, Reina Ramos is excited to dress up as Frida Kahlo and present her report in character. Frida is strong, just like Reina’s mami and abuela. Plus, Reina has the perfect headband for the costume. But when her best friend Nora picks Frida first, Reina doesn’t know what to do. Why would Nora do that? And who will Reina dress up as now?

Reina Ramos is one of the first Latina characters in the I Can Read! program. Four titles are planned. Author Emma Otheguy brings to life an exciting new character and Andrés Landazábal’s illustrations are a beautiful tribute to Latine culture and diversity.

Reina Ramos Works It Out is a Level Two I Can Read! book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. The story contains several Spanish words, a glossary, and a list of famous people mentioned in the book.
