A sharp and heartfelt picture book debut about a young girl who has two jobs, one as a soccer-loving kid and another as a translator for her Spanish-speaking parents

Un conmovedor y sincero libro ilustrado sobre una joven que tiene dos trabajos, uno como chica aficionada del futbol y otro como interprete para sus padres hispanohablantes.

Cuando Cecilia no esta en el campo de futbol marcando goles, acompana a sus padres a todo tipo de lugares para adultos, como la oficina de licencias de conducir, el despacho del contador y el taller de autom viles. Les ayuda traduciendo del espanol al ingles y viceversa. Es un trabajo importante e incluso puede ser divertido. Tambien es muy agotador.

A veces, equilibrar sus dos trabajos (disfrutar su ninez y ser interprete) implica tanta responsabilidad que Cecilia siente que se divide en dos! Es hora de que Cecilia sople su silbato y pida un tiempo muerto?

El ingenioso texto de Olivia Abtahi y las encantadoras ilustraciones de Monica Arnaldo capturan un aspecto comon de la vida de las familias inmigrantes y biling es y, al mismo tiempo, ofrecen un modelo de trabajo en equipo que ayuda a que todos se sientan comprendidos.

Some kids have one job- to be a kid! Cecilia has two. When she isn't on the soccer field scoring goals, Cecilia accompanies her parents to all kinds of grown-up places that her teammates don't go to, like the DMV, the accountant's office, and the auto shop. She helps them translate from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. It can be fun, but often it's really hard work.

Sometimes Cecilia's second job is so much responsibility, it feels like she'll split in two! That is, until she calls a time out.

Olivia Abtahi's clever text and Monica Arnaldo's charming illustrations capture a common aspect of life for immigrant and bilingual families while offering a model for teamwork that helps everyone feel understood.
