Summary: I'd be scared too
Comment: This book was great. My mom asked me to read it because she was giving it to my little cousins and I really liked it. It told about a boy who was feeling both scared and excited - they are feelings I have too. I'd be scared if I had to leave my country forever and not even know what the people were saying when I got to the new place. It would be scarey to have a Mom who is sick and a Dad who has to get a new job. It would also be frightening to think about a new school where you wouldn't know anybody AND you wouldn't even know what they were saying to you or about you. I remember when a boy named Sasha came to our class and he was from Russia and did not know any English. I had heard there were other languages but I didn't know what that could do to a person until I saw what Sasha went through. I think a new adventure is only exciting when you don't have to worry, but Danilito and Shasha had to worry. In the book Danilito was lucky though because he had his mom and dad and his uncle to help him. I think Danilito and Shasha are a lot alike. Danilito may be scared today but just like Sasha, once he learns the new language he will become very happy and his scared feelings will become feelings about excitement about his new adventures in a new home. After all, he already had a happy experience that he didn't need a language for - the snow! It made things new seem good and exciting. I think this author must like little kids because he knew how they feel inside.
