Everything he does feels upside down: he eats lunch when it's recess and goes out to play when it's time for lunch, and his tongue feels like a rock when he tries to speak English. But a sensitive teacher and his loving family help Juanito find his voice through poetry, art, and music. Juan Felipe Herrera's playful language and the magical illustrations of Elizabeth Gómez capture the universal experience of entering a new school and feeling lost in a world that seems upside down — at first.

 Rating:  - Historical, interesting, not so much a children's book...This bilingual book was beautiful written and spoke to the origins of Mexican migrant workers. I enjoyed the book, but in my opinion it is not geared for children who may not be able to grasp the historical significance of the book - which is really its heart and soul. Rating:  - Captivating and lyrical!My seven-year old was absolutely captivated by this book. It is a heart-warming story, perfect for those who know how it feels to be a newcomer and at the same time illuminating to those who do not. The words are poetic and lyrical.

However, anyone can enjoy the poetic message of love and support. Rating:  - Adjusting to New CultureIn this sequel to Calling the Doves, Juanito's farm-worker parents settle down so that he can go to school. Suddenly, everything Juanito does feels upside down, but a sensitive teacher and devoted family help him make a place for himself. A 2000 Smithsonian Notable Book for Children. (summary by the Latino Recommended Reading List from the Association of American Publishers's * Publishing Latino Voices for America Task Force) Rating:  - We have to teach a proper Spanish foundationPorque este empeno en publicar libros en un espanol tan mal hablado?? porque enredar a la gente con palabras como 'troca'?? Aparte de que suena horrible y naco, es super incorrecto! Rating: - The Upside Down BoyThis multi-cultural storybook celebrates diversity through both the telling of the story and the inclusion of two languages: English and Spanish. Juanito is the son of migrant workers from Mexico. Neither of his parents had the opportunity to complete school, but realize the importance of education. When Juanito reaches school age, his parents settle down so that he may regularly attend. At first the new schedules feel strange to Juanito and he is often doing the wrong thing during designated ... Read More
