“Remember: Don’t correct your mom’s Spanish accent when speaking English. It’s chair, not “shair.” Not everyone eats tortillas.

These are some of the fun-filled memoirs included in Sarah Rafael Garcia’s first book “Las Niñas: A Collection of Childhood Memories,” which lightly touches on issues of immigration, learning English as a second language, and assimilating into the American culture.

The book is about three Mexican American sisters, the first generation of their family born in the United States.”*
