review 1: Marisol McDonald doesn’t Match by Monica Brown, is an astonishing book. I loved the way the author made this book personal with her own background. Monica has many different cultures in her background and sometimes they are mixed and not always matching. In this book Monica allows her main character Marisol to be mixed matched as well. I would love to read this book to my future classroom to get the point across to my students that sometimes being mix matched is fun and a whole different experience. I would also like my students to understand that being different is nothing bad at all, in fact it is very interesting. Over all I really enjoyed this book and it is a children’s book that I hope to have available in my classroom library.
review 2: I love how Mo... morenica Brown presents Marisol McDonald as a character. It is a realistic fiction book that positively highlights being multiracial. It shows Marisol being proud of who she is and both her Peruvian and Scottish culture and her colorful personality. Her father speaks to her in English and the mother speaks to her in Spanish and I like the way Monica Brown presented it. The book is also written in Spanish on the neighboring page but when there is a Spanish word being said in the English translation, Brown writes the same Spanish word in English for the Spanish translation side. The plot is rich because it shows a time where Marisol tries to deny who she is and is extremely sad because of it but her teacher is able to convince her that she likes Marisol just the way she is. less
