Reading is critical for language learning in developing brains, and for children growing up in bilingual households, that’s doubly true! Bilingual books in English and Spanish are more popular than ever as Hispanic and Latino-identifying households continue to grow in the US and parents look for ways to encourage bilingual language acquisition in their children. Whatever their primary language, exposure to bilingual books can provide a valuable opportunity for young kids to build their language skills while discovering a new way to connect with their culture and their families.
Our favorite and bestselling bilingual libros for children include simple entry-level board books that reinforce vocabulary with vibrant pictures and illustrations, like Bilingual Baby Touch and Feel: Farm – La granja or The World of Eric Carle Bilingual Flashcards, easy-to-follow bilingual editions of English-language classics like The Cat in the Hat/El Gato Ensombrerado and Su propio color (A Color of His Own), and books that center Latin American culture like Los Street Vendors and Bilingual Baby’s First Day of the Dead – Día de muertos.
