$25 Amazon/PP-1-WW-Dos Idiomas, One Me: A Bilingual Reader-Maggie Williams-Ends 3/21

It can't be easy switching from the language you use at home to the language you use every where else! I personally have never been good at any language except English. 7 years of French in school--still can't speak it but can read it and understand it if spoken slowly enough. Spanish--several of my bilingual friends tried--they really did--and again I can understand it--sometimes--

I was so grateful for my Spanish speaking friends who would translate for me and then say what I wanted to say in Spanish to the rest of the people there. Bi-lingual speakers are needed in many occupations--medical being one of them!!

This short book lets those young ones know that they are not different--but special! It is sure to make them feel better about themselves. The book is written in Spanish and English--thus whether you have a command of one or the other--you will be able to read it and share it with your children. Every child should learn that not everyone is the same--but everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are!

Dos Idiomas, One Me is the story of a young girl who feels torn between two languages. At home, she speaks Spanish, at school, she speaks English, and she finds herself resenting the fact that she has to translate her thoughts and feelings. Then, she realizes that being bilingual is a gift. She begins to have fun navigating the space of inclusivity and starts to relish the role of teacher and translator. 

By equally incorporating Spanish and English, Dos Idiomas, One Me promotes biliteracy. As young readers see their experiences reflected in the story of another dual-language speaker, they can feel encouraged to embrace all aspects of themselves.

“A charming book depicting bicultural identity. Maggy Williams takes the reader into the struggle and joy a child experiences while not feeling ni de aquí, ni de allá, and yet from both sides.” – Anel Duarte, artist and poet 

“Such a unique, inspiring story that captures the heart within seconds of reading! A powerful, dynamic rendition of what it means to be a bilingual child. Every family should read it!” – Sabrina Suarez, artist, advocate, and community leader 

“Esta pequeña historia guarda un gran tesoro. Para todos los niños que tienen la gran oportunidad y capacidad de aprender dos o más idiomas a la vez, de una forma natural. Que puedan apreciar y sentir la fortuna de ser completamente bilingües desde una edad temprana. Una ventaja con la que contarán el resto de sus vidas y que podrá ser de gran ayuda para ellos mismos y muchos otros a su alrededor. Un lindo recurso para todos los padres que quieren enseñar a sus hijos la riqueza de formar parte en varias culturas a la vez.” – Irma Erichsen, author and artist 

“Dos Idiomas, One Me illustriously guides young readers and their grownups towards understanding that differences make us unique and special. Beautifully written!” – AnnaMarie Jones, co-creator of the Demystifying Diversity Podcast.
