Sesame Street's Rosita learns how to respond when strangers at the
supermarket tell her and her Mami not to speak Spanish--this illustrated
paperback is based on the video of the same name on the Sesame Street
in Communities website.**
Rosita and her Mami experience racism when they are told not to speak
Spanish at the supermarket. While discussing the upsetting encounter,
Rosita is reminded how smart and special she is to speak two languages.
And that the ability to do so is like having a superpower! This
important book--inspired by the video of the same name on the Sesame
Street in Communities website--is a helpful way to introduce a tough
yet important topic to young children.
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame
Street, aims to help kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder through
its many unique domestic and international initiatives. These projects
cover a wide array of topics for families around the world.
