Little Plants, Plantitas, is a bilingual and colorful adventure through emotions.🪴From a bright sunflower representing happiness to the gentle fern embodying calmness, children will embark on a journey through their feelings. This delightful book not only introduces the beauty of nature to children but also encourages young readers to understand and express their emotions through the language of plantitas.
Calaveras and Torito is a bilingual Day of the Dead adventure that tells the story of a lonely boy skeleton and his skeleton dog Torito.
Their favorite holiday isDay of the Dead because on that day, they fit in with everyone else.. One day, they realize they've never had their own ofrenda, so they decide to collect items and create one where everyone feels welcome!
I Am Enough/Soy Fuerte Ya, is a bilingual children’s book based on the song written by artist and songwriter Heidi Rojas, a first-generation Latina. This beautifully illustrated, uplifting story follows a young girl who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, guided by the whispers of her ancestors. The anthem celebrates the strength and wisdom we inherit from our ancestors and heritage, teaching us that we can find the confidence to achieve any dream if we reach within ourselves. With English and Spanish text side by side, this book offers a heartwarming tale that celebrates cultural roots, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit that connects us all across generations.
