My Pal Victor/Mi amigo, Victor
written by Diane Diane Gonzaels Bertrand and illustrated by Robert L. Sweetland and published by Raven Tree Press
About
The bilingual text and bold, colorful illustrations weave the story of two Latino boys who share the joys of friendship—telling scary stories and outrageous riddles, going swimming, riding roller coasters and having many other adventures. Dominic is proud that his pal likes the way he is. Until the last illustration, the reader is unaware that Victor uses a wheelchair.
