Grab a basket and take a delightful stroll through a fruit shop in this first of a bilingual board book series that introduces the youngest of readers to the community around them.
Welcome to Mr. Manzano’s fruit shop.
Bienvenido a la frutería del Señor Manzano.
In Mr. Manzano’s fruit shop, there are so many delicious kinds of fruit for sale— from peaches and plums to grapefruits and guavas! Learn their names in both English and Spanish, then pick your favorite for a sweet picnic in the park. Will you choose a tart star fruit/carambola? Or a juicy watermelon/sandía? They are all so yummy! In this bilingual series from Lourdes Heuer and Zara González Hoang, readers are invited to make a stop at a different teeny tienda in each bright board book and celebrate with the vibrant, diverse community that frequents it.
