[Updated for 2023] We've already discussed the most important questions to ask before subscribing to a book box for your child. Today we're going one level deeper. At Sol Book Box, we have three unique subscription box options. Which one is right for your family? Let's discuss!
PICTURE BOOK BOX
What is it?
Our classic, long-running, much beloved libro del mes (“book of the month”) club. Each month subscribers here will receive one expertly curated Spanish-language or bilingual picture book carefully hand-selected by Sol Book Box children's lit experts.
Some months will feature exciting new releases, others will focus on recent staff favorites or hard-to-find gems from our network of global publishers. It is our sincere hope that ALL selections will find a place in your niño’s library of storytime favorites.
In general, we strive to emphasize titles that celebrate diversity and feature bilingual / bicultural familias, as well as values including inclusivity, eco-consciousness, and a compassionate, curious mindset.
Who’s it for?
We work hard to select titles that are thematically suitable for ALL children from age 0 to 8—whether they are already an independent reader, an active listener, or even just starting their language journey. That said, parents of pre-readers may prefer our Board Book Box, which focuses on books with fewer words and simpler stories.
Can I personalize it?
Yes! For example, if you prefer bilingual titles, or certain specific genres, please let us know! The more info you provide, the better your books will be. Please clearly indicate any preferences a) via your customer survey at purchase, or b) later within your customer profile. Alternatively, you can simply email us at [email protected]. We're here to help!

BOARD BOOK BOX
What is it?
Our adorable starter box for budding bilingual babies! Each month subscribers will receive two delightful Spanish or bilingual board books—perfect for those precious early moments, and for dipping their little toes into reading in Spanish!
Who’s it for?
Board books are typically written for pre-readers age 0-3. That said, your subscription profile will help us tailor your selections even further so your child is getting just the right book, at just the right age.
Can I personalize it?
Yes! Just pick our picture book box, your preferences and ongoing feedback helps us evolve and improve your plan over time so you can confidently build a healthy, long-term reading habit. Of course, if you want to keep it simple and let our staff pick, that’s great too!

Who’s it for?
The sweet spot for picture books tends to be 4-8, while board books are generally aimed at pre-readers from 0-3. That said, Familia boxes are designed to be enjoyed together! Through your subscription profile, we'll further tailor your selections so they are fully age-appropriate and engaging.
