Madison Sanders Writes

I am not weak because I don't fit the mold I am not weak because I ask for help I am not weak because I give I am not weak because I share I am not weak because I cry You can't live this life like you are invincible Being misunderstood is common Never succumb to other's opinions So many voices, so little time Do this, go this way You can't do this don't you know that? I am so tired of the underlying current It's in their countenance If not in their words It's as if everyone can feel but me I'm not sure why I'm not going to hide I'm not going away Please give me time Please give me space To process things To get strong Without you waiting to throw stones Everyone is pointing out my weaknesses When they have their own They are going around in circles Completely chaotic with no real purpose I'm done listening I'm done listening to the noise Blah blah blah Yadda y

Captain Mama's Surprise is the second book in the Captain Mama's series. It's another bilingual book in English in Spanish. This time, Captain Mama takes her son, Marco, and his second grade class on a field trip to see the airplane she flies on. The class meets the crew and learns what each crew member does and the process of refueling a plane in mid-air.  I’d seen airplanes refueling in movies, but I learned lots of new things while reading this book. I didn’t know what all a copilot of an airplane was responsible for, and I have never seen an airplane map up close. So cool! I could see many first and second graders loving this book! Since it has vocabulary words, it would be perfect for their age group. Graciela has also included an activity in the back of the book. When I found out the surprise, I wanted to be a kid in Marco’s class! I won't spoil the ending. Buy the book to find out what happens! I know the third book promises even more fun
