Bilingual Picture Books
Did you know there’s all sorts of research and studies about how young children learn multiple languages faster than adults might, because of their growing minds? And that not only does it help them linguistically, but it helps with creativity, logic, and focus?
Also, learning other languages only further helps us connect with all sorts of people and cultures. And what else helps expand young readers’ worlds? Books! So bilingual books are the perfect match. We have a variety of English/Spanish bilingual titles to help young readers expand their vocabularies for both languages, so be sure to check them out. You might learn something too!
Enter the classroom in this joyful story of growth that will help new students find their voice. With Spanish words throughout the text, this radiant picture book is perfect for fans of Mango, Abuela, and Me.
On the first day of elementary school, Abuela soothes Gloriana’s nerves by telling her stories from their family home in la República Dominicana. But as soon as Gloriana enters the classroom, the tropical scenery crumbles and la música is replaced with English phrases she does not understand. When other kids approach her to play at recess, she freezes, uncertain about how to exist between her two homes, or how to make new friends between her two languages. Abuela recognizes echoes of her own immigration journey on this challenging day at school, and she gently guides Gloriana towards newfound confidence. This beautifully painted, imaginative picture book celebrates the magic of existing in-between, and the transformative power of self-soothing to build confidence.

One day, their casita overflows with friends and loved ones and the house begins to shake and crack, causing chaos before everyone rushes out. To the family’s dismay, their beloved home collapses.
