"I thought you might enjoy knowing the connection between your "Speak With Me" books and the World Cup. Here is the story:
In our school we have two little girls whose father plays for the professional Stuttgart football club. The family is from Mexico and Mr. Osorio also plays on the Mexican national team. If you watch a World Cup Mexico game you will easily spot #5, Ricardo Osorio.
One of Mr. Osorio's daughters has Sammy Learns to Speak checked out and it is overdue! I am hoping that the book comes back because I can't easily replace it and because the family is leaving our school at the end of this year. However, if the book somehow stays with the family, I think it will be in good hands and well used!
Now you have a reason to cheer for Mexico!
All the best,
Betty,
Librarian
Stuttgart International School
