¡Conoce nuestro libro recomendado de la semana!

René tiene dos apellidos de Rene Colato Lainez y Fabiola Graullera Ramírez, Arte Público Press (Primeros lectores)

René es de El Salvador y no entiende por qué su nombre tiene que ser diferente en los Estados Unidos. El primer día en su nueva escuela, su maestra, la señorita Soria, le dio una calcomanía que decía René Colato. A la calcomanía le faltaba su segundo apellido. Tal vez la pluma de la señorita Soria se quedó sin tinta pensó, así que tomó su lápiz y lo agregó, ahora sí se veía bien: René Colato Laínez.
