About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is in the 'hide and seek' phase of development, or when you want to weave a second language naturally into your daily routine. This gentle board book helps children navigate the concept of object permanence while building a spatial vocabulary in both English and Spanish. Featuring Alma, a beloved character from Caldecott Honor literature, the story follows a simple search for her pet bird, Pajarito. It transforms a basic lesson on prepositions into a cozy, interactive game. It is an ideal choice for parents seeking to celebrate Latino heritage or for any family wanting to introduce bilingualism through play and warmth.
