What are you recommendations for Spanish picture books that I need to add to my library? We can't buy Spanish books locally, but I can always add them to my list for the next time we're able to get some supplies brought to us from the USA! :)
I have not heard of a lot of these! Love this! My husbands side of the family speaks Spanish and while we wanted our children to be bilingual, time has just slipped by! They know a little but not much.
I know, it's not easy at all to figure out a way to balance exposure to two languages! My husband's family all speaks Spanish when they are together, so that definitely helps motivate me, in that I don't want my boys to feel left out when the family gets together. :)
107 views is great, and your voice is super calming and beautiful! My favorite book was the daddy book!! I love that you're raising your family as bilingual. We keep trying, but because neither of us speak another language it makes it a bit difficult to stick to.
Oh, wow! It's hard already even with one parent who is bilingual in our family...but it's such a good skill and I feel like it's so much easier for kids to learn when they are young, as compared to how tough it is for our old brains to learn a new language! haha!
That's great that Cyrus is able to learn more than one language as he grows up! I think that being bi-lingual or multi-lingual will continue to be a very important skill for people to have for the future!
That's awesome! I think it's especially cool when you can use language skills that exist within your own family, like you mentioned with your kids' aunt!
Seven In All we love the fly guy series so much in English we bought it in Spanish. The kids have it memorized so I hoped it would help them to memorize more words!!
Because I don't speak Spanish fluently, but I can read it well, books are one of my most-used resources in helping to support their Spanish language acquisition!
Hairs / Pelitos by Sandra Cisneros is a good book I enjoyed growing up. I’ve had my eye on Lotería! We’re obsessed! Our wedding had a few lotería themes! LOL Niño looks so cute! We’re hooked. Thank you SO much for this. We loved it. 😍 You speak Spanish VERY well by the way! Where do you find most of your books?
Where we live, Spanish books aren't sold locally, and online shopping doesn't work too well...so our whole book collection is thanks to my sisters, aunts, and my husband's mom in the USA sending us care packages or bringing books over in their suitcase when they have come to visit. When I hear about a good book from the internet, I add it to my list of requests for next time someone wants to get us some books. We were supposed to be back in the USA this summer and I had big book-shopping plans but...pandemic. Niño is still a favorite, the other day I sat down and read it 5 times in a row with my toddler (because we always have to read the favorite books multiple times!), and it's a favorite for my husband as well, because he loves the folk tales like "la llorona" that are referenced in the story.
@@SevenInAll Aww I'm sorry to hear that, I hope your family is doing well during such uncertain times. I am loving the fact that y'all read the same story a couple of times at once! That is too cute! I remember reading with my mother so I know your children will always cherish those moments for sure! 💚💛💜
Thanks for sharing. I definitely need Las Abuelas de Liliana, we don't live close to family so my son hasn't realized the different on each side of the family. I read Susie Jaramillo Canticos and Lil Libros books to my toddler. His current favorites are Sol Solectio (we read it everyday at least 3 times a day) and Loteria. For my daughter I use Barron's Hide and Speak Spanish with flaps and Usborne First Thousand Words its similar to an I Spy book.
Thanks so much for sharing! In the year since this video, I've decided to dive deeper into really using books as a strong tool in raising bilingual little ones, and I'm now just beginning to do literature-based preschool lessons in Spanish. An adventure lies ahead! :) I publish the lessons I make on the shop on our website, here: www.wheredyoulearnthat.com/shop/p/puramente-preescolar
Amazing books with bright illustrations. It's so good starting to learn a new language from early age. My son started to speak very late, he was 2 y.o. but still said only Mom and Dad in my language and I started speaking English to him because most common English words are short one sylable words. In Russian words are much longer and it worked. He spoke simple sentenses. Then he understood that people around us don't speak English and switched to Russian.
We have faced very much the same situation--Cyrus has started speaking a bit slowly, and we've realized that many English words are much easier for him to say than the longer Spanish words, i.e. "Fan" in English for a ceiling fan vs. "ventilador" in Spanish. But we are realizing that he can understand and follow a lot of commands in Spanish and can understand most of what we're saying in either language, he just can't respond yet.
@@SevenInAll I understand him, responding is much harder. I understand Spanish, but can't speak it 😀😉 Another interesting topic from you, there are lots of bilingual families now.
@@ursamajor5000 Very similar to me, because I studied Spanish in college, and have heard Angel speaking it so often, I can understand almost everything, but I feel like I make so many grammar mistakes when I speak. I like speaking to my toddler in Spanish sometimes because if I make a mistake...he won't know! He's only two! hahaha!
Awesome video and some really nice books.. my daughter speaks fluent Spanish me on the other hand not so much... and my son I'm teaching him colors numbers greetings and other small words.. I think this would be Awsome to implement In your home school..
Because I don't speak Spanish fluently but I can at least read it, books have REALLY helped me with increasing the amount of Spanish in our home. Plus, I can learn from the books as well and improve my own Spanish skills!
Thanks for the recommendations, we want to raise our kids with a good grasp of a second language. It will be hard since neither Joey or I are fluent in anything other than English, and we also don't know where we will be when we start have kids. If we are in China, they will probably learn Chinese, but if we move back to AZ, Spanish would be a good choice.

Thank you for sharing my friend. Love your recommendation 😍
Have a wonderful day today!
Thank you! We really appreciate reading these books as a family!

Great selection! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I love building our kids' book collection over time!
That's great that Cyrus is able to learn more than one language as he grows up! I think that being bi-lingual or multi-lingual will continue to be a very important skill for people to have for the future!
Yes! And ever more so as our society becomes more international and global!
Yay! I also dream to have a library at home.😍💕💕 This is so helpful especially for future family.❣️
Joining your family!✨
Thank you! We love reading books as a family and it's so fun to build our own book collection over time!
@@SevenInAll yeah! That's a great idea.😍👍
It's great for kids to speak dual languages. My kids aunt is from a primarily Spanish speaking country, and she's been teaching them to speak Spanish😊
That's awesome! I think it's especially cool when you can use language skills that exist within your own family, like you mentioned with your kids' aunt!
Thank you so much for your recommendations! My husband is fluent in Spanish but since I don’t speak our kids don’t. I need to increase our library. ❤️
Having the books helps me so much, because I can read in Spanish, but speaking it doesn't come so naturally to me. Plus...I love kids books, haha!
Seven In All we love the fly guy series so much in English we bought it in Spanish. The kids have it memorized so I hoped it would help them to memorize more words!!
These are all great books. I need to start reading to my kids in spanish. ❤

These are some great books! I love the book Abuela.
We were just reading that one together this morning!
My favorite parody of Good Night Moon is Good Night Lab.
I haven't seen that one yet! But I think I have a book by the same author, nerdy scientific baby books are pretty fun!

Yes, location matters a lot when choosing a second language!
Love these!!!
Thank you!
I want to learn some spanish😄. Some of our words are a bit similar to spanish
In Japanese? I agree, I studied some Japanese in college and I think the vowel sounds and some of the sounds of the words are very similar!
Seven In All nope. In Filipino😄
@@ジ一ン-o2l Oh! I was mistaken because your UA-cam name shows up in Japanese katakana for me! :) Yes, Filipino and Spanish share MANY similarities!
