Read Out Loud 🗣️ LA INTÉRPRETE

Join us for a Special SPANISH STORY TIME! Laura Zadoff, Bank Street Graduate School of Education, celebrates LA INTÉRPRETE/THE INTERPRETER, winner of the Best Spanish Language Picture Book Award! Un conmovedor y sincero libro ilustrado sobre una joven que tiene dos trabajos, uno como chica aficionada del futbol y otro como intérprete para sus padres hispanohablantes. Cuando Cecilia no está en el campo de futbol marcando goles, acompaña a sus padres a todo tipo de lugares para adultos, como la oficina de licencias de conducir, el despacho del contador y el taller de automóviles. Les ayuda traduciendo del español al inglés y viceversa. Es un trabajo importante e incluso puede ser divertido. También es muy agotador. Read more »
