Handstand Kids Mexican Cookbook
Roxana first found this cookbook when she wrote about new bilingual toys for 2009.

Alina Rosario-Los Niños en su Casa + Her Bilingual Family
Several weeks ago I was invited to visit the set of the PBS series Los Niños en su Casa which is produced in Los Angeles (actually five minutes from my house!).
