Changes for Josefina

Changes for Josefina
Chapter One: Gifts and Blessings
Compare Santa Claus with La Fiesta de los Reyes Magos

Listen to a waltz from 1824

Chapter Two: Sleet
Why didn’t Papa say something to Tia Dolores?

Why didn’t the girls plan work?

Do you know an optimist, like Josefina?

Have you ever been heartsick with sorrow?

Josefina’s Plan
Do you treat your parents with the same respect Josefina does?

Heart and Hope
Why was it important for Josefina to be there when Tia Dolores read the marriage proposal?

Looking Back
If you can, compare the persecution of New Mexicans with the hatred towards illegal immigrants today.

Talk to your daughter about which pictures were her favorite in each book, which is her favorite book, and why.
