¡Me Gusta!

I come from a family of besucones. In other words, I’m surrounded by those who love to give and receive tons of kisses. I’ve never been too much into it myself, that is, until my daughter was born almost four years ago and since then, I haven’t been able to stop showering her with kisses every chance I get.

One of my favorite things from this bilingual publishing house, which was born only last year in Spain, is the way they package their products. Their books have been a hit at our home, in part, because of the cool way they are presented.

We are so excited to bring back SpanglishBabyFinds, and even more so that it’s all merged into one rocking site! We definitely missed telling you about our Finds and hosting fun giveaways. To kick off a new SpanglishBaby season we found a book that’s the perfect companion for any parent raising a proud bicultural Latino or for parents that want their children to have a well-rounded knowledge of Latinos in America: A Kid’s Guide to Latino History–More than 50 Activities,Read More ...
