These two pages come from Camila y Canelo en el Mercado, a real book we made. Words that match share a color in both languages.

Camila kneels by a market stall full of vegetables while a vendor holds a basket
Camila corre entre los puestos de verduras. ¿Estará Canelo oliendo zanahorias frescas o lechugas grandes?Camila runs among the vegetable stalls. Will Canelo be smelling fresh carrots or large lettuces?
Camila reaches for a stack of warm tortillas at a market tortillería

Your own book works the same way.

Both languages on every page

Spanish and English share each page, so no one has to pick. Matching words get the same soft color, so kids can find zanahorias and carrots.

Who a bilingual book is for

A bilingual book fits a few kinds of families.

Families raising kids in both languages

One story works at bedtime with either parent. The language from home and the language from school sit on the same page.

Grandparents who speak Spanish

Abuela reads her line and the kids read theirs. Everyone gets a turn to read.

Kids learning a second language

The colored word pairs show which words match, so new words are easy to spot and fun to point at.
