The Interpreter
Olivia Abtahi, illustrated by Monica Arnaldo
Cecilia loves soccer, but she also translates between Spanish and English for her parents during appointments and errands. Her interpreting takes her to places such as the doctor, DMV, auto repair shop, hairdresser, and restaurants. The responsibility grows exhausting and leaves less time to play with friends. When Cecilia explains that she wants to help but not constantly, her family recognizes her work and arranges support so she can have breaks.
