Description

This cozy, cheerful read-aloud board book companion to Besos for Baby uses a rhythmic mix of English and Spanish to celebrate all kinds of hugs!

Everyone has hugs for Baby, and Baby has hugs for them too-from su abuelo and su hermano to su mascota and el arbol! Simple Spanish words and a rhythmic read-aloud help teach vocabulary and show that a loving hug is the same in any language.

The spare and simple Spanish is accessible for both bilingual parents and those who wish to introduce Spanish to their little ones. Either way, parents won't be able to resist giving abrazos as they share this bilingual read aloud, filled with bold, graphic illustrations, with their little bebe!
