New review! Tumba by Mira Canion is a suspenseful intro for novices to Día de Muertos as Alex and friends uncover family secrets. Educators should be aware of concerns about cultural authenticity and some dynamics between male & female characters. #LangChat wearelllab.org/2026/05/16/t...

The cover of Tumba by Mira Canion. The cover illustration depicts a skeleton wearing pants and a hat, standing over a tomb covered in marigolds.

Berto y sus buenos amigos offers opportunities for reflection on privilege, social media consent, cultural representation and linguistic variety in the context of four friends having a fun day in their homes in Madrid. Check out our new review! #LangChat wearelllab.org/2026/05/16/b...

The cover of Berto y sus buenos amigos shows four middle-school-aged friends grouped together, facing the viewer. A friend in the center is shown waving a hand and wearing a backward black baseball cap. One friend with long blond hair holds a phone camera in front of her face. Another friend with long brown hair wears a big grin. Two characters with short brown hair are shown mildly grinning. All characters have light skin.
