One of our staff members just found another book dealing with literacy matters -- this one on the ESOL side. It's called Home at Last, by Susan Middleton Elya. It's about a family who arrives from Mexico knowing no English, the daughter's experience in school, and the problems the mother encounters in society because she can't speak English. Both books have happy endings. The boy's mother takes literacy classes & learns to read, & the Hispanic mother takes classes & learns to speak English. Both books speak eloquently of the need for family literacy services. Kathie Friedley Program Manager Claude Moore Center for Family Literacy Loudoun Literacy Council Leesburg, Virginia
