Before September boxes head out the door, here's a first look at some of the titles your readers might find inside — a secret pet, a bunny bath, a lift-the-flap guessing game, and more.
Note: This isn't the full list — we always keep a few surprises in reserve — but it's a good look at the range of what's on tap for our readers.

MI PERRO Y YO
A little girl finds a dog in the park. It is, to everyone else in the world, plainly a bear. She brings it home anyway, quietly, because her parents have been clear on the subject of pets — and then begins to worry that somewhere out there, somebody might be missing it.
A warm, funny story about affection and the responsibility that arrives with it. Written by Luca Tortellini, illustrated by Felicita Sala, from Ediciones El Naranjo in Mexico.
A BAÑARSE, CONEJITOS
A whole family of bunnies gathers around the tub, and every one of them feels differently about it — sleepy, giggly, a little scared, or quietly hoping to vanish under the bubbles. The rhyming text finds real warmth in a routine most households run on autopilot.
From Editorial Amanuta, the independent Chilean publisher that won the 2023 Bologna Prize for best children's publisher in South America.
EL LADRÓN DE HOJAS: LOS COLORES
Ardilla y Pájaro — a squirrel and a bird, best of friends — spend the book talking about color. What color is Bird's new hat? What about the leaves, now that autumn has arrived? Every answer waits under a flap, which means every question is a chance to guess first.
From Ediciones Jaguar in Madrid.
COURAGEOUS CAMILA / CAMILA LA VALIENTE
Camila signs up for her first martial arts class, and what follows isn't a straight line. Excitement, then nerves, then a few setbacks, then the slow work of showing up again. It's a book about the kind of courage a child builds rather than arrives with.
Told page for page in English and Spanish, so it reads either way.
ALEBRIJES: NUMBERS / NÚMEROS
One whimsical axolotl. Ten colorful chameleons. The numbers 1 through 10 in English and Spanish, each carried by an alebrije — the fantastical creatures of Mexican folklore, painted in bold colors and intricate patterns.
New to board books in Spanish? Our guide to bilingual board books for babies and toddlers covers what to look for at each age, and if you're deciding between formats, we broke that down in picture books versus board books.
