From China to Guatemala




On April 25, the Amigos 4th and5th graders had a wonderful author visit with Amelia Lau Carling. Ms. Carling is from a Chinese family which immigrated to Guatemala from China during WW2. During her childhood she was spoken to in Chinese, but she and her siblings responded to their parents in Spanish. Her own children encouraged her to write about her unique childhood experiences in her two books, La Tienda de Mama y Papa (Mama and Papa Have a Store) and Alfombras de Asserin (Sawdust Carpets)
