As we turn the page into a cozy fall reading season, we’re thrilled to share a sneak peek at some of our newest picture-book treasures—stories that celebrate culture, connection, and creativity en español. From laugh-out-loud rhymes to powerful bilingual tales, this month’s picks will keep little readers inspired (and parents smiling).
FRANKY FRANKENSTEIN
Meet Franky Frankenstein 💜 — our newest “spooky-but-sweet” pick from beloved author José Carlos Andrés & amazing illustrator Gómez. It’s a story about kindness, courage, and what happens when you finally get to be seen for who you are.
LA JIRAFA RAFA
Singing to your niño not only lets them bond with your voice, it also helps them hear the smaller sounds in words and builds their vocabulary. We adore this sweet & funny Spanish sing-a-long starring Rafa the giraffe. With his whiskers and glasses, little ones love reading and singing about his adventures in the Savanna, and we hope you do, too!
TÍO RICKY DOESN’T SPEAK ENGLISH
When Tío Ricky visits from Puerto Rico, he doesn’t speak English—and his niece doesn’t speak Spanish. At first, their worlds feel miles apart. But with patience, play, and plenty of laughter, they discover that love has its own universal language. A heartfelt bilingual story about family, belonging, and celebrating every way we communicate.
¿CUÁL ES TU COLOR?
This bright and beautiful board book is all about diversity and inclusion. No matter your shade or background, every answer is the same: color familia. Through playful illustrations and simple text, little readers learn that what truly matters is the light we all share. A gentle, affirming read for the tiniest book lovers.
THE GREAT TAMALE TREASURE HUNT
Get ready for an adventure packed with sabor and corazón! Three cousins set off on a treasure hunt through salsa rivers, chipotle ant hills, and tamale-filled lagoons to find the most delicious tamales in the land. With vibrant illustrations and playful bilingual rhymes, this story celebrates teamwork, tradition, and the joy of Latino family life—wrapped in one flavorful tale. 🌽
