John,
Thanks so much for these recommendations. This week we´re starting a monthly feature of publishers and authors of bilingual children´s books and we´ll be sure to contact them.
Please feel free to leave us your store´s info either here or in the forums. If you leave it in the forums it will be of great use to our readers from the SoCal area. I for one am very interested!

I have a Latino Book Store in L.A. and I went to Book Expo America in New York last month and I noticed a couple of publishers not included here. The four publishers mentioned in the article are great. CBP best sellers include those by Francisco X. Alarcon and Juan Felipe Herrera. In addition to Pat Mora, Piñata Books also has fantastic titles by Victor Villaseñor, author of “Rain of Gold”. In addition to these and all the recommendations above, I was really impressed with what Raven Tree Press is coming out with. me+mi publishing is also a standard favorite for its bilingual board books and sideline items.

Usborne and Kane/Miller also publish some very nice Spanish books. I think you all should check out the books I’ll be making available for the “week of giveaways”.
I believe the “Latin Baby Book Club” has reviewed several Kane/Miller titles.

Rayo, Luna Rising, Lee & Low, and Scholastic (to name a few) have also produced a large number of multicultural books. CBP is WONDERFUL! And I highly recommend them…
Thanks, Roxana!
