Jules deftly handles the social terrain of elementary school

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2015

Written by Jacqueline Jules and illustrated by Miguel Benítez, Freddie Ramos Stomps the Snow is the fifth of the Zapato Power books. This sweet, playful tale centers on the special experiences around a school snow day, as experienced by the protagonist of the series, Freddie Ramos. Freddie has super zapatos thanks to a special neighbor, who helps him transform his usual sneakers into super snowshoes to help his neighbors. What sets Freddie Ramos apart is how the story strikes a positive note while accurately reflecting the experiences of kids from a range of backgrounds.

The setting for Freddie Ramos opens up possibilities for subtly engaging with experiences that are relatively neglected in the sunny tales targeted at the primary grades. Despite the fact that many students live in apartments and know some financial hardships, the vast majority of books for children feature middle-class families living in single-family homes. It is refreshing, then, to follow the escapades of Freddie Ramos and his friends at the Starwood Park apartment community.

Financial concerns are a reality for Freddie and his friends, but Freddie Ramos also suggests that even young kids can take positive actions in response to difficult circumstances. Freddie worries about not having snow boots, and we learn that most of his shoes and clothes are hand-me-downs from a friend’s older brother. Importantly, Freddie frames this fact in a way that shows a focus on the positive in his community: “At Starwood Park, people shared.” Attentiveness to the needs of others is prominent in the book, and later, we see how Freddie enacts generosity. In addition to his work cleaning paths for neighbors, when he notices that most of the kids don’t have a sled, he proposes a strategy for sharing that allows all the kids in the complex to have a turn going down the big hill. The Starwood bully, Erika, appears in a more vulnerable light when her grandmother’s purse is stolen with their rent money inside.

Yet these more serious elements do not weigh down the buoyant narrative. My son (age 4) loved the special zapatos and the watch that Freddie uses to turn them on. I enjoyed the casual, untranslated incorporation of Spanish. (For why I think it’s so important that books not gloss these phrases, see this post.)

Jacqueline Jules also deftly handles the social terrain of elementary school. Like many sweet kids, Freddie finds it easier to protect his friends from bullies than to help the bully herself. But his character stretches, ultimately rising to the challenge of being kind to an unlovable classmate. Readers see that Freddie’s greatest superpower is the generosity and kindness he has learned from his community.

Wouldn’t it be cool to have a pair of shoes that let you zip around and do amazing things, just like a superhero? Freddie Ramos does know because he has Zapato Power.

Freddie is a very special kid. Mr. Vaslov, an inventor, knew it. He had given Freddie a very special pair of shoes to test. With the press of a button on his Zapato Power wristband, Freddie’s shoes let out a puff of smoke and he can woosh and bounce as high as a basketball and he could run faster than a train. Freddie liked to use his shoes for hero stuff but today it started to snow. So much so, school was closed in preparation of the big storm heading their way. It was predicted there would be at least two feet.

Freddie tried out his Zapato Power on the way home. The snow flew up around him and almost made him invisible. Not only that, the snow evaporated with each step he took. The next day the town had been snowed in. Mr. Vaslov gave Freddie some special snow shoes to go with his Zapato Power. Freddie cleared sidewalks and pathways for his neighbors. When Freddie discovered that building D residents had to be moved to the school because they had no heat he knew his help would be needed. He used his Zappato Power to clear pathways at the school so supplies could be brought in for the families. But, there was another problem. A thief had infiltrated the school and stolen some purses. It will be up to Freddie to find out who. He will have to use more than his Zappato Power to become the hero he know he is.

Author Jacqueline Jules has created a fun series surrounding Freddie Ramos and his Zapato Power shoes. This is a great series for boys, but girls will love it to. The characters are realistic and children will love them and be able to relate to them. There is an easy to comprehend storyline with basic sentence structure for any reader to grasp. The black and white illustrations give readers a peek into each chapter. Parents and teachers will want to share this book as a read-a-long and further discussion. Zapato Power is a CYBILS award-winning series.

Awesome shoes

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2015

In this book Freddy and friends get sent home from school early because of a odd snow storm in March. It snows so much they also get the next day off as well. But when the heat breaks in one of the buildings in the Starwood Park apartment complex and the residents have to stay at the school Mr. Vaslov the Manager and maker of Freddy's Zapato Power shoes asks for Freddy's help, what they don't count on is a purse snatcher.

You find all sorts of nationalities and circumstances at the Starwood Park Apartments. Freddy and his mom are Hispanic and it is now just the two of them. His dad was a soldier, a hero, and Freddy misses him a lot which leads you to believe he is gone. Then there is Freddy's friend Maria and her little brother who loves guacamole, Gio. Then there is Erika, she loves purple bubblegum and lives with her abuela (grandmother), that is a relationship in the making. But most of the people of the Starwood Park Apartments are not rich, some are ok but some really have to watch their money so when the rent money is stolen it is a huge issue.

I really loved this book with all the differences of people and socioeconomical circumstances blending together was great, not that a child reading the book would get that nuance all they would see is that this kid Freddy has these awesome cool shoes that let him do these really cool things to help his friends. What kids doesn't think that each new pair of sneakers makes them run faster and jump higher? But Freddy's really did, and because of this he was able to help do all sorts of things and all his friends had more fun and less stress because of it. But it is a really fun exciting action packed book that will also make you very hungry for guacamole. :)
