Sequencing: The book begins when Ana is 6, and she goes through each part of the book with her age increasing.
Math: numbers are added by 2′s throughout the story
Mental Images: The story provides some good examples of images that young students can practice making such as: riding a bike without training wheels; the steps of making tamales
