hellastrong 's review for:
Each Tiny Spark
by Pablo Cartaya
this is not a perfect book -- it's trying to do too much, IMO, and it has kids talking like adults about big topics just as they're starting to learn about them -- but I loved seeing the representation of a LatinX ADHD kid who's trying to deal with everything life is throwing at her, and I really appreciated the way it blended Spanish and English without leaving me (with my very limited Spanish vocabulary) completely in the dark. Part of me is also grappling with my idea of when a book is "doing too much." I mean, kids are actually facing all of these issues, sometimes all at once. It feels artificial in a book, but who am I to say that it isn't real life for a lot of kids.
