I Hear a Búho

Climb on my lap. We're under the moon. We might hear some animales soon.

I Hear a Búho is a rhyming story with text in English and Spanish, which encompasses language, the parent-child bond, nature, and the benefit of being still and listening.

A mother and daughter are snuggling together on their porch, listening to the sounds of the night. A girl makes animal calls and her mother responds sweetly. To their surprise, a real owl appears and flies across the night sky.

"The patterned rhyming text is calming in its predictability, and the Spanish words and phrases are easily understood in context and from the illustrations ... The striking print-like artwork shows how the child becomes the animals in her imagination. This is a fun call and response bedtime story for kids who know and love their animals." - Youth Services Book Review

"Ideal for parent-child bonding in Spanish speaking households, I Hear a Búho is a welcome, memorable, entertaining, and unreservedly recommended pick for family, daycare centre, preschool, elementary school, and community library bilingual (English/Spanish) picture book collections for young children." - Midwest Book Review

"As with many well-written picture books that appear at first glance to be for the very young, in the hands of an imaginative teacher they can become powerful teaching tools for all ages, and this one has great potential too." - Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf
