About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to nurture your child's natural curiosity and help them see the world as a friendly, vibrant place for learning. It is an ideal choice for the toddler years when every interaction with a pet or a park bench is a major discovery. The story follows a young girl as she travels through her day, identifying all the things she has learned from her friends, who happen to be cats, dogs, monkeys, and even books. This bilingual edition introduces simple Spanish and English vocabulary through a repetitive, rhythmic structure that builds confidence in emerging speakers. By framing every creature and person as a teacher, Taro Gomi encourages a spirit of gratitude and mindfulness. It is a gentle, joyful read that reinforces the idea that we are never alone when we are curious about the world around us.
