About

From renowned artist and Pura Belpré Author Award Honoree Edel Rodriguez, this lushly illustrated bilingual vocabulary picture book teaches Spanish and English words inspired by his experience as an immigrant

In his signature bold style, internationally acclaimed artist Edel Rodriguez draws on his childhood experience immigrating from Cuba to the United States to teach little ones about both vocabulary and perspective.

With every word presented in both Spanish and English, each illustration contrasts the cultural associations between the words, demonstrating the different types of plantas (plants), música (music), and even leche (milk) across cultures and experiences.

With spare text and vivid visuals, this simple yet powerful concept book cleverly shows young readers how the same thing can be appreciated differently depending on where you are.

De la mano del reconocido artista Edel Rodriguez —galardonado con una mención honorífica del premio Pura Belpré en la categoría de autor—, llega este libro ilustrado bilingüe que enseña vocabulario en español e inglés, inspirado en su propia experiencia como inmigrante.

Con su característico estilo audaz, el artista de fama internacional Edel Rodriguez se basa en sus vivencias infantiles al emigrar de Cuba a Estados Unidos para enseñar a los más pequeños tanto vocabulario como nuevas perspectivas.

Cada palabra se presenta en español e inglés, y las ilustraciones contrastan las asociaciones culturales de dichos términos, mostrando las diferencias en elementos como plantas (plants), música (music) e incluso leche (milk) según la cultura y la experiencia vivida.

Mediante un texto conciso e imágenes vibrantes, este libro conceptual —sencillo a la vez que impactante— muestra con ingenio a los jóvenes lectores cómo una misma cosa puede percibirse de formas distintas dependiendo del lugar donde uno se encuentre.
