Ducks waddle in all kinds of weather! First, read the story in English. Then, flip to the next page and read it again in Spanish. Comparing words in both languages helps early readers with comprehension and literacy. Plus, bright animal illustrations encourage a love of storytime.
Author Biography
Erin Rose Grobarek will tell you that children's books matter because a lifelong love of reading begins before you can read. She loves to make collages and miniatures, embroider, and perhaps most of all, she loves to read. Her favorite color is green, her favorite texture is corduroy, and her favorite vegetable is celery. She lives in Chicago in a hundred-year-old (not haunted) house with her handsome spouse, a wacky cat, and lots of foliage.
Every day, since the first time she could read a line, Arlette de Alba has deeply enjoyed the stories in books. She loves discovering new worlds, cultures, and languages in them, and delights in finding the differences between the Spanish from Mexico, where she lives, and that of other parts of Latin America and Spain. Arlette has participated in the creation of more than a thousand books, either as writer, translator, editor, or publishing coordinator.
