Five bilingual picture books for Hispanic Heritage Month

For Hispanic Heritage Month, I've comprised a list of bilingual picture books perfect for young ones looking for educational but fun reads that will further their Spanish language skills. Here are some of my faves- I Love Saturdays y domingos is a tale by beloved author Alma Flor Ada. This story incorporates basic Spanish words ranging from colors, animals, and numbers, to so much more! This is a great book about family bonding perfect for reading over and over again. Amelia's Show-and-Tell Fiesta tells the story of a girl in a new school planning to share something very special for show and tell. This book demonstrates how families sometimes have difficulties keeping cultural traditions in new places, and how to find inspiration to keep showcasing these wherever life may take us. Blue Frog: The Legend of Chocolate tells the story of how the Wind God, dressed as a blue f...

Dia de los muertos

Here are some more recommended reads to help familiarize your little ones with Dia de los Muertos- Dia de los Muertos, by Roseanne Greenfield Thong, is an English text written in rhyme that introduces Spanish vocabulary terms for those who are non-native speakers. I find that it gives such a nice background for the elementary school aged group regarding this sacred and important holiday! Day of the Dead by Tony Johnston, is another English text with Spanish vocabulary terms and is easy for younger ones to read on the go given its relatively smaller size. Bonus- the illustrator, Jeanette Winter, also has another text, Calavera Abecedario: A Day of the Dead Alphabet, which I also have to check out for next time! La Catrina, by Patty Rodriguez and Ariana Stein, is a board book for the smallest of readers (infants) with lovely illustrations themed from the Day of the Dead, introducing one to a variety of feelings!...

La noche que comenzo la Navidad and other recommendations

Christmas is my favorite time of year, both for learning and enjoyment purposes. There are so many wonderful resources to use to expose children to the language and traditions of other cultures. It is so important to remember the reason for the season, so one of my go-to books this year is from the popular Beginner's Bible series- a paperback version of the bilingual title, La noche que comenzo la Navidad / The Very First Christmas . I highly recommend this book for our youngest readers to introduce them to the story of Christ's birth. The text is side by side in Spanish and English, which provides great practice for non-native speakers. Here are some other favorite resources for learning Spanish at Christmas-time!
