Trinidad

“I will never be good enough. Everyone is better than me and I will never measure up.” Sometimes when we see people on television, we think we need to be like them with fancy houses, beautiful hair, or glamorous lives. But this is not true. The most important people are in our very neighborhoods. The teachers, farmers, coaches, parents, and friends around us are the most important people in the world. Trinidad realizes that the people living nearby are the valuable people in one’s life. The book Trinidad takes readers through the appreciation of the people most important in our lives. This book is a celebration of childhood, family, friends, art, and language. Trinidad is written in English and Spanish and features a non-gender specific character. It features original paintings by Denver artist Colleen Hennessy.
