Books for Kids
Below you will find many books we believe you and your children will enjoy. Some are bilingual. Others are in either English or Spanish. Some books don't have any words at all. There is a little something to suit everyone's needs. We've also tried to include a variety of topics and authors from Latin America and the United States.
Featured Book of the Month
Starry River of the Sky
Rendi, a self-centered, unhappy boy runs away from home and winds up in a sad town. Storytelling, however, instigated by a mysterious newcomer allows Rendi to mature and help the villagers. The rich narrative incorporates tales inspired by Chinese tales in this worthy companion to Where the Mountain meets the Moon.

Thank you for offering this information — this topic (reading and school involvement) has been one of my concerns regarding my children. Many thanks.
