I also found it a great read for those kids transitioning from picture books to chapter books. I will surely be using it in my teaching. It is so important for kids to be able to see how bilinguals can be a wonderful trait. This book has so much to offer children around the world.
A glimpse into Puerto Rico, an understanding of natures’ creatures, impact on environment and beauty of bilinguism. The vivid illustrations help bring the story alive! My daughter really favorite part is how the parrots fly in the sky…
