Review
     This is a wonderful children’s book that depicts a young girl going through her day.  It goes through all of the sounds she hears during her day and gives the word for them in both English and Spanish.  It’s a great way for young children to pick up some Spanish words.
      The book is written with plenty of onamonapia that let’s the children hear the sounds of the day.  The pictures are detailed and use beautiful colors.  They are sure to keep children engaged in the story. 

Author Talia Aikens-Nuñez  

Talia Aikens-Nuñez wanted to be a meteorologist, a politician and a lawyer. She never thought she would be a writer. It was the birth of her daughter that caused her to start writing. Raising a bilingual child inspired Talia to write lyrical children’s books. These ‘first experience’ books introduce Spanish to children and parents too! Talia’s family loves nature so much that she and her husband vowed that they will always try to live close to water. She, her husband and daughter live on a river in Connecticut with their daughter Isabella.
