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.
Juana Martinez-Neal is the daughter and granddaughter of painters. She started her story in Lima, Peru, and then moved to the United States. The winner of a 2018 Pura Belpré Illustrator Award for La Princesa and the Pea by Susan Middleton Elya, Juana Martinez-Neal is still writing the story of her life, with the help of her husband and three children, in Arizona.
