Don’t miss this year’s\u00a0D\u00eda del Ni\u00f1o celebration tomorrow, Wednesday, April 26\u00a0at 3:30 p.m. We’ll have games, music, snacks and a pi\u00f1ata for children of all ages to enjoy. You can also celebrate\u00a0D\u00eda del Ni\u00f1o by checking out some of the great Spanish and bilingual children’s books that all Pasadena Public Libraries have. Below is a list of some great Spanish\/English bilingual books for you to share with your child for this\u00a0D\u00eda del Ni\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

\"Marisol<\/a><\/span>Marisol McDonald<\/span> doesn’t match\u00a0= Marisol McDonald<\/span> no combina<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Monica Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

Marisol McDonald has flaming red hair and nut-brown skin. Polka dots and stripes are her favorite combination. She prefers peanut butter and jelly burritos in her lunch box. And don\u2019t even think of asking her to choose one or the other activity at recess, she\u2019ll just be a soccer playing pirate princess, thank you very much. To Marisol McDonald, these seemingly mismatched things make perfect sense together.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, they don\u2019t always make sense to everyone else. Other people wrinkle their nose in confusion at Marisol, can\u2019t she just be one or the other? Try as she might, in a world where everyone tries to put this biracial, Peruvian-Scottish-American girl into a box, Marisol McDonald doesn\u2019t match. And that\u2019s just fine with her.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>My Name Is Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz = Me Llamo Celia: La Vida de Celia Cruz<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Monica Brown<\/p>\n

This bilingual book allows young readers to enter Celia Cruz’s life as she becomes a well-known singer in her homeland of Cuba, then moves to New York City and Miami where she and others create a new type of music called salsa.<\/p>\n

\"Sol<\/a>Sol a Sol: Bilingual<\/span>\u00a0Poems <\/strong><\/em><\/a>written and selected by Lori Marie Carlson<\/span><\/p>\n

Sol a Sol<\/em> is a sweet, lyrical collection of bilingual poems that begins with the sunrise and ends with the sun setting and the starlit sky. There are poems about a girl who wears lizards for earrings and enjoys a day with her sassy grandparents, poems about her lively friends, her purring cat, and her parents whose “hips kiss” as they dance across the living room floor.<\/p>\n

Here is a collection of poems in English and Spanish that reads like a single story about one wonderful family.<\/p>\n

\"Hot,<\/a>Caliente, M\u00e1s Caliente, Muy Caliente: Animales que se Adaptan a Climas Calientes = Hot, Hotter, Hottest: Animals that Adapt to Great Heat<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Michael Dahl<\/span><\/p>\n

Describes some animals that live survive in extreme heat, who lounge in the shade or burrow in the sand. Some of the animals shown include the red-spotted toad, the burrowing owl, the antelope jackrabbit, and the Pompeii worm.<\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/a>Maria Had a Little Llama = Mar\u00eda Ten\u00eda una Llamita<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Angela Dominguez<\/p>\n

Everyone knows about Mary and her little lamb. But do you know Maria?<\/p>\n

With gorgeous, Peruvian-inspired illustrations and English and Spanish retellings, Angela Dominguez gives a fresh new twist to the classic rhyme. Maria and her mischievous little llama will steal your heart.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/a>In my Family = En mi Familia<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>by Carmen Lomas Garza<\/span><\/p>\n

In My Family\/En mi familia<\/em> is Carmen Lomas Garza’s tribute to the family and community that shaped her childhood and her life. Lomas Garza’s vibrant paintings and warm personal stories depict memories of growing up in the traditional Mexican-American community of her hometown of Kingsville, Texas.<\/p>\n
