Everyone knows about Mary and her little lamb. But do you know Maria?

With gorgeous, Peruvian-inspired illustrations and English and Spanish retellings, Angela Dominguez's Maria Had a Little Llama / María Tenía Una Llamita gives a fresh new bilingual twist to the classic rhyme. Maria and her mischievous little llama will steal your heart.

Todos saben acerca de Mary y su corderito, pero, ¿conoce usted a María?

Con hermosas ilustraciones inspiradas en el Perú, Angela Dominguez nos ofrece una versión nueva y original de la rima clásica, en inglés y en español. María y su traviesa llamita le robarán el corazón.

In this entertaining, bilingual exploration of language, children are introduced to a second language and get a glimpse of another culture. VE LO QUE DICES/SEE WHAT YOU SAY explores the ways two different cultures view their own languages through familiar idioms. Sometimes the words we use have a different meaning from what we say. For instance, if a person becomes hasty and does things out of order, in English we say he has put the cart before the horse. In Spanish he is starting to build the house at the roof. Although they mean the same thing, the literal sense of these phrases is quite different. In VE LO QUE DICES/SEE WHAT YOU SAY, these contrasting expressions become charming and vivid vignettes.

¿Te imaginas cómo sería volar en el aire en una alfombra mágica?

Había una vez un niñito que se llamaba Gabito, que sí podía.
