Take a journey through the world- Escucha Means Listen by Talia Aikens-Nunez

"What a cute book! This is a fun way to teach children about sounds as well as Spanish and English terms for those sounds. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and illustrate the words perfectly." - Heidi, Goodreads


Description:

Take a journey through the world — just listening. Escucha Means Listen helps children discover sounds around them in both English and Spanish. A beautiful picture book with lyrical prose and delightful illustrations, from lawn mowing to the splish-splashing of rain puddles.

About the author:
Talia Aikens-Nuñez wanted to be a meteorologist, a politician and a lawyer. She never thought she would be an author. It was the birth of her daughter that caused her to start writing. Raising a bilingual child inspired Talia to write multicultural children’s books. 

Talia’s family loves nature so much that she and her husband vowed that they will always try to live close to water. She and her family live in Connecticut with a little pond.
