About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to turn a routine moment of play into a celebration of your toddler's growing sense of self. It is perfect for those quiet, snuggly intervals when your child is beginning to point to their own nose or toes and needs a mirror to see the beauty in their everyday movements. This bilingual board book follows the beloved character Alma as she explores her body from her eyes and mouth down to her adorable belly and toes. Beyond just teaching vocabulary in both English and Spanish, the story radiates a deep sense of self-love and cultural pride. The soft, textured illustrations by Pura Belpre Award winner Juana Martinez-Neal create a safe, warm environment for learning. It is an ideal choice for families looking to integrate Spanish naturally into their daily life while reinforcing a positive, joyful body image for their little one.
