Rigoberta y la tormenta
Raquel M. Barthe
- Reading
- Read the illustrations and wording together, pausing before and after the storm to ask what has changed. Revisit the ending afterwards, since its consequences are not clear beforehand.
- Themes
- Care under pressure: Rigoberta faces a strong storm while seeking to protect animals and her grandchildren. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Courage in severe weather: Rigoberta is described as unwilling to let a strong storm prevent her from acting on behalf of others. Her determination is clear, but it is not possible to tell whether the narrative treats her response as wholly admirable, risky, or mixed.
- Worth knowing
- The storm could invite discussion of courage without assuming that fear disappears. Ask what Rigoberta might notice, worry about or do first when protecting others becomes difficult.
