many children who have different types of family structures, those that don't have the traditional
mother and father home.

Becoming Naomi León Scholastic Gold Pam Munoz Ryan Pam Muñoz Ryan 9780439269971 Books Reviews

Becoming Naomi Leon is a great chapter book for many children yet also engaging for adults. The author, Pam Muñoz Ryan, incorporated a great story line that involved two children being raised by their great-grandmother. Many children can easily relate to this story because they or their friends can currently be raised by another family member. Another connectable aspect in this story is that the children are from a previous interracial marriage. Her style of writing keeps the reader engaged throughout the story in order to learn what has happened next.

The two children, Naomi and her brother Owen have been raised by their great-grandmother, Gram, for the past seven years when their mother surprisingly walks back into their lives and wants to take Naomi with her. Before this can happen, Gram tries to get help from Naomi and Owen's father who is from Mexico. They must find him so that the family does not get separated and along the way they learn more about where they came from.

I will most definitely have my own son read this marvelous chapter book.
Naomi and Owen's mother left them to live with their great-grandma when they were young so she could "find her life." Owen is pleased when his mother returns unexpectedly, having no memory of her. Naomi, on the other hand, is worried. Unfortunately, their mother's appearance begins to rapidly unravel the children's peaceful lives as Naomi learns that she wants to take her away from her great-grandma and she does not want her brother, Owen. As the children get to know their mother, they begin to realize that she is not good for them. The conflict over custody sends them to Mexico to find their father. I won't give away the ending, but it is a story you won't forget.
I was intrigued with the book, Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Munoz Ryan because the main characters rang true and the author was able to help me make a connection to them. The story was interesting from the very beginning and held my attention through the very end. The events were believable and written with such description as to make me feel as if I was there. Naomi was a strong and positive female character, a good example for any young girl. Her mixed ancestry of White and Mexican American was depicted in a positive way, so I can see why it was a Pura Belpre Award honor book. This award recognizes Latino authors who have not only completed a well written children's book, but have brought Latino customs to light with a positive take (American Library Association, 1999).

This book is a contemporary realistic fiction story of a young girl who realized she must find her voice to find herself. Readers will relate to Naomi Leon as her emotions and thoughts are presented through a third person point of view. The main characters, Naomi, her brother Owen, and her Grandma, are believable and well rounded. The author stated in an interview, that she used her own personal experience of Oaxaca, Mexico and southern California to bring to life the settings of this story. This is a book I would recommend for any classroom library.
