Their unique presentation sets them apart from others...the Canticos books are put together with an accordion fold that lets you read through the story in one language, then flip it and read back through in the other language. There are also interactive elements like flaps to peek beneath and wheels to spin. The text and illustrations form a recipe for fun and educational books for young readers." --Suzanne Costner, Librarian, Fairview Elementary<br><br>Summer 2020 Picks for Kids ⁠-- New York Public Library<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Susie Jaramillo</b>: Susie Jaramillo is a mom, an artist and a creative director raising two bilingual children.
