I’d like to add another bilingual children’s picture book to your list: “Before You Were Here, Mi Amor” (Viking, 2009, illustrated by Santiago Cohen) about all the things that one family does to welcome a new child into the world. Also, coming in February 2011, “The Cazuela That The Farm Maiden Stirred” (Charlesbridge, illustrated by Rafael Lopez). Mr. Lopez is the 2010 winner of the Pura Belpre Award for illustration. You can learn more about both books at http://www.samanthavamos.com (there’s a trailer for “Before You Were Here, Mi Amor” posted there). Gracias.

Thank you for sending me this e-mail, I really liked the website. I have three kids 7,5,and 3years old. The best way for little kids to learn a language is exposing them to it. I always talked to my kids in both E and Sp and then I try to take them to Colombia at least once a year. Once they are there, their Sp comes after couple days. I would love to exchange Spanish books w/other mothers. I have quite a few (7 ro 8)from keiko Kazsa they are very cute. My # is 720-296-7606

My two year old daughter loves two bilingual books by Laurel Porter-Gaylord: “Quiero a mi papa porque…I love my Daddy because…” and “Quiero a mi mama porque… I love my Mommy because…”
These are really cute books that show that mommy and daddy animals also take care of their babies. The books use simple sentences and teach verbs and many animal names.

Ni tengo idea cual libro seria mis favoritos–tenemos tantos. Yo compre muchos en Amazon, buscando titulos en espanol.. De vez en cuando encuentro unos en the big chain bookstores. Pero, los mas que tenemos son, por supuesto, de Usborne. Y ahora que Usborne compro a Kane/Miller, vamos a tener mas.
