"Rabbit on the Moon: Embracing My Mexican-American Identity" by Dr. Elizabeth Álvarez is a memoir that uses the metaphor of the moon's phases to narrate her journey of self-discovery and cultural identity. With a foreword by Dr. Juana Bordas, the book reflects on Dr. Álvarez's childhood struggles with racism and educational exclusion, the resilience of her immigrant family, and her growth into an advocate for marginalized students. The book highlights the power of storytelling in education, the significance of embracing one's cultural heritage, and the importance of inclusivity in the educational system. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Dr. Álvarez's story is one of empowerment, cultural pride, and self-acceptance.
