Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ten of Puerto Rico's most beloved legends, told side by side in English and Spanish.

From the coquí's nightly song to Juan Bobo's best-loved tricks, this book brings the island's most treasured stories to life - warm, gentle, and ready for bedtime reading, ages 6-9.

Inside, your child will meet:

- Juan Bobo, and the pig he dressed up for a wedding- The coquí, and why its tiny song is heard nowhere else on Earth- Yuisa, and the enchanted horse she freed without asking for anything back- Guanina, and the friendship that bridged two very different worlds- Atabey and Yúcahu, and the balance that first made the island a home- The hummingbird, and the colors it earned through sheer determination- Rafael, the lonely sentry who learned to see magic instead of loneliness- Yagüeza, and the tree whose flowers became the island's own- Camuy, and the glowing bay born from a single kindness- Juan Bobo again, and the mandado that went wonderfully wrong

Every story appears in full on facing pages - English on one side, Spanish on the other - so the whole family can read together, whatever language feels most comfortable. Each chapter closes with a simple moral, and the back of the book includes a bilingual vocabulary section with exercises, so children build real reading confidence in both languages one story at a time.

Perfect for: Boricua families on the island and the mainland, bilingual classrooms, heritage-minded grandparents, and any child ages 6-9 who loves a good story.
