Harriet's Chariot is about a little girl who is in a terrible accident and has to use a wheel chair. When she returns to school after a long period in the hospital, she is teased and bullied about her injured legs. The story focuses on how she overcomes this problem with the help of her teacher and her mother. A contest is set up for the students, challenging them to move the wheel chair as quickly as they can from start line to finish line, their times recorded on a chart by the teacher. This helps classmates recognize how hard it is to move oneself in a wheel chair. Even the bully acknowledges Harriet's (Rosa's) wheelchair as a chariot of fire, she goes so fast! The story is bilingual, written in English and Spanish. The illustrations by Fernanda Miguel Godinez Zuñiga, a student at EEESMA, a school for the deaf in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, captures the story in a charming and refreshing way, allowing the reader to make sense of the second language through the pictures. For deaf students, Mexican Sign Language is their first language, Spanish is their second, and English is third. Children ages 6-10 can relate to the bullying and get excited about how this problem was solved. They can think about being wheelchair bound and the effort the young heroine made to overcome her problems. All proceeds from this book benefit the Escuela de Educación Especial San Miguel de Allende (EEESMA), the school for deaf children, which makes such a huge difference in these students' lives. La Carroza de Rosa es sobre una niña pequeña que está en un terrible accidente y tiene que usar una silla de ruedas. Cuando regresa a la escuela después de un largo perÃodo en el hospital, es objeto de burlas y acoso por sus piernas dañados. La historia se centra en cómo supera este problema con la ayuda de su maestra y su madre. Se organiza un concurso para los estudiantes, desafiándolos a mover la silla de ruedas lo más rápido posible desde la lÃnea de inicio hasta la lÃnea de meta, sus tiempos registrados en una tabla por el maestro. Esto ayuda a los compañeros de clase a reconocer lo difÃcil que es moverse uno mismo en una silla de ruedas. Incluso el matón reconoce la silla de ruedas de Rosa como un carroza de fuego, va tan rápido! La historia es bilingüe, escrita en inglés y español. Las ilustraciones de Fernanda Miguel GodÃnez Zúñiga, una estudiante de EEESMA, una escuela para sordos en San Miguel de Allende, México, captan la historia de una manera encantadora y refrescante, permitiendo al lector dar sentido a la segunda lengua a través de las imágenes. Para los estudiantes sordos, el lenguaje de señas mexicano es su primer idioma, el español es el segundo y el inglés el tercero. Los niños de 6 a 10 años pueden relacionarse con el acoso y entusiasmarse con la forma en que se resolvió este problema. Pueden pensar que están en silla de ruedas y el esfuerzo que la joven heroÃna hizo para superar sus problemas. Todas las ganancias de este libro benefician a la Escuela de Educación Especial San Miguel de Allende (EEESMA), la escuela para niños sordos, que hace una gran diferencia en la vida de estos estudiantes.
