On the eve of his eighth birthday, a boy is whisked away for a middle-of-the-night adventure to the magical New York City Public Library, where he is reunited with memories, books from his childhood and someone very special to him. An enchanting tale! The Night Library | Written by David Zeltser | Illustrated by Raul Colón @raul.colon.7140 | @randomhousekids
. “One is a rainbow. One is a cake. One is a piñata that’s ready to break!” . A lovely, lively rhyming book for little ones learning to count to ten. Readers are invited to a fiesta while they count maracas, burbujas, cometas, nubes and frutas along the way. This story pairs perfectly with a cup of chocolate y un bolillo “just waiting to dip!” For more early concept books by this duo, check out Round Is a Tortilla and Green Is a Chile Pepper. . One Is a Piñata: A Book of Numbers | Written by Roseanne Greenfield Thong | Illustrated by John Parra @johnparraart | @chroniclebooks
Home is so much more than the building that we live in. It’s about the small things that make it feel safe and comfortable — our favorite blanket, dinner with loved ones, a story before bed. And if we have to move, it’s reassuring to know we can take those things with us as we start a new life 50 or 5,000 miles away. Home Is a Window | Written by Stephanie Ledyard @stephledyard | Illustrated by Chris Sasaki @christopher_sasaki | @holidayhousebks
Join Little Lobo and his dog Bernabé as they set off to the magical Mercado de Cuauhtémoc for the day to make deliveries to the market’s merchants. They make their way through the bustling crowds and busy kiosks and there is so much to see, hear, smell and taste! The story’s lively, endless details and jaunty dialogue really bring to life the energy of a mercado. We love all the opportunities throughout the book to learn Spanish and about Mexican culture and community. . ¡Vamos! Let’s Go the the Market | Written and illustrated by Raul the Third @raulthethird.info | @versifybooks @hmhkids
Giveaway ahead! Gracias/Thanks is a collection of bilingual poems from a boy who reminds us that there are so many things to be thankful for — a ladybug landing on his finger, foamy waves at the beach, his friend who shares a funny story with him. It’s a lovely celebration of family, friendship and lighthearted moments. Gracias/Thanks was written in Spanish and English by Pat Mora, illustrated by John Parra (@johnparraart) and published by Lee and Low Books. We’re partnering with @leeandlow to give away two copies of GRACIAS/THANKS. This giveaway is open to US residents and ends Sunday, 4/28, at 11:59 PM PT.  The winners will be announced here shortly thereafter.  To enter: 1. Like this post. 2.
