Description
A bilingual picture book that's sweet enough to eat about a chatty bluebird and an indecisive T. Rex who can't decide what his next meal should be, introducing readers to basic Spanish and English food vocabulary. When a bluebird comes upon a dinosaur who's down in the dumps, he asks what's wrong. "Tengo hambre!" says the dinosaur. I'm hungry! Does the dinosaur want a banana? "Platano? No." Fish? "Pescado? No, gracias." Nothing seems to do the trick!...

A stunning bilingual picture book that celebrates Latinx families by highlighting moments of connection and delight and feelings of safety and home, even through challenges and difficult times. Me gusta your smile, tu sonrisa, and your hugs, tus abrazos. Me gusta when we explore this spectacular world, el mundo, and gaze at all the stars, las estrellas. But most of all, me gusta that no matter where we are, I feel at home, en casa, when I'm with you....
