Stella Díaz tiene algo que decir (Stella Diaz Has Something to Say) Written & illustrated by Angela Dominguez In this engaging chapter book, readers meet Stella Díaz, who is somewhat shy and sometimes feels like she doesn’t fit in, especially without her best friend in her class this year. Stella also has a passion for sea creatures—reading all she can about them, visiting the aquarium to learn more, and taking care of her betta fish. A research project culminating in a presentation turns out to be the perfect opportunity for Stella to share her passion with her class and gain the confidence to speak up!
