Take a tour of Alma’s home . . . in two languages! The celebrated series of bilingual board books continues—starring the subject of the Caldecott Honor Book Alma and How She Got Her Name.

Good morning! I am Alma. / ¡Buenos días! Yo soy Alma.
At home, I sleep in my bedroom. / En casa, duermo en mi dormitorio.

Follow little Alma as she washes up in the bathroom, puts on her striped outfit and bow, and eats breakfast with her family in the kitchen. There’s just enough time for Alma’s brother to sit on the couch and read her a book before school—then Alma can go outside to play with her feathered friend Pajarito! In a new entry in this joyful board-book series, award-winning author-illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal looks in on the adorable Alma and her loving family at home, with words and simple phrases in English and Spanish on every spread.

Kevin ★★★★★

The bilingual format is perfect for our bedtime routine—my toddler points at Alma’s house and I read each page in English, then we switch to Spanish. The Caldecott connection makes it feel special, and the board pages held up to her enthusiastic page-turning.

David P. ★★★★★

The bilingual format is a brilliant touch—I can read the Spanish side to my daughter while my husband takes the English, and the board book pages are sturdy enough for her grabby hands. It’s already become our bedtime favorite.

Daniel G. ★★★★★

My toddler loves pointing at each room and hearing me say the words in both English and Spanish, and the board book pages are thick enough to survive his enthusiastic page-turns. It’s a sweet little tour that makes learning feel like play.
