📚Libro del día📚

“¡Chones, por favor!” :
💥boardbook bilingüe (español/ingles)
💥 Ages 1-4

Una de las preguntas más frecuentes enviadas a mi DM es ¿tenes algo para ayudarnos a navegar el potty training?
Mi respuesta es: ¡claro que si! Este, de todos los que he visto y tengo es sin duda mi favorito. Adoro el texto sencillo y desde el punto de vista del pequeños. Pero les diré que lo que más amo es que la figura apoyando el proceso es su papá y con la asistencia de su hermano mayor. AMO que destacan la importancia del padrehood.

Pensé, siendo hoy Día de los Padres, escogería un libro que celebra a los papás y figuras paternas que impactan la vida de nuestros peques y este libro ilustra justo eso!

Necesitas más recomendaciones para potty training? Comenta CHONES y ten mandaré links a libros que pienso también son geniales para esta etapa.

📚El libro del día 📚

¡Corre, pequeño Chaski!

✍️ Mariana Llanos 🇵🇪
🎨 Mariana Ruiz Johnson

Este libro destaca la importancia de la bondad y la empatía, Es el libro perfecto para read aloud y hacer story time interactivo y dinámico. Me encanta que visibiliza las comunidades indígenas y introduce un vocabulario básico de palabras Quechua.

Sinopsis:
“In this tale set in the ancient Inka (sometimes spelled Inca) empire, Little Chaski has a big job: he is the Inka King’s newest royal messenger. On his first day delivering messages he stops to help several creatures in need along the way, causing him to nearly miss his sunset deadline. But the kindness he bestowed on these animals winds up helping him in surprising ways. Descriptive language and bold illustrations give readers insight into Little Chaski’s nervousness and excitement as he runs the Inka Trail, working earnestly to fulfill the responsibilities of his new role.”

Uno de mis libros FAVORITOS convertido en un HERMOSOOOO POP-UP! Mi amiga .piper me informó sobre la existencia de esta versión y tuve que traerlo a LA TIENDITA.

🎁 Un regalo perfecto para cumpleaños o el aula de una maestra.

El Monstruo de Colores: sinopsis:
“¿Alguna vez os habéis hecho un lío con vuestras emociones? Pues eso mismo le ha sucedido al Monstruo de Colores, que deberá aprender a poner en orden la alegría, la tristeza, la rabia, el miedo y la calma. Con este magnífico libro pop-up y sus expresivas ilustraciones, vuestro hijo podrá identificar con facilidad las distintas emociones que vive durante el día.”

🐸 My 8 year old is into ranitas these days. Her favorite character and obsession is Keroppi the frog. As we were planning frog themed birthday we had a fun discussion about “el coqui” y las ranitas. The conversation also led to learning more about Puerto Rico as one of her besties mom is from La Isla del Encanto. 🇵🇷

The coqui is a very popular creature throughout the Island of Puerto Rico and has been a cultural symbol for centuries! As the sun sets, the coqui’s song is heard louder.

Here are 5 fun facts about el coqui and how it is different from regular ranitas (frogs):
🐸 El coqui is endemic to Puerto Rico

🐸 El coqui has more than 17 species, 13 of them found only in El Yunque National Forest

🐸 El coqui skips the tadpole stage. A tiny but fully functional froggie hatches from the egg.

🐸 The name derives from the “co-kee” which is the male’s call to attract females. The “Co” part of the call deters other males, while the “qui” part attracts female frogs.

🐸 The coqui is considered the loudest amphibian.

Comment “Coqui” if you would like a free download of the infographic for your peques or classroom.

🎨 Erika Meza

Mis dos pueblos fronterizos de David Bowles, con ilustraciones de Erika Meza, es la cariñosa historia del ritual semanal de un padre y su hijo, una demostración de atención comunitaria y un homenaje a la fluidez, complejidad y vitalidad de la vida en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México.
Sinopsis:
Un sábado por la mañana, un niño se prepara para un viaje al Otro Lado / the Other Side. Está cerca, solo bajando la calle y pasando su escuela, el pueblo gemelo de la comunidad donde vive. Su padre maneja su camioneta sobre un puente para cruzar el Río Grande y llegar a México, donde son recibidos por la estatua gigante de un águila. Sus visitas siempre incluyen almuerzo en su restaurante favorito, una plática en la joyería del tío Mateo, una paleta bien fría, y una vuelta a la farmacia. En su parada final y más importante, pasan tiempo con amigos que buscan asilo y les entregan los suministros que tanto necesitan.

Based on a true story! Join a young boy and his father on an arduous journey from Mexico to the United States in the 1980s to find a new life. They’ll need all the courage they can muster to safely cross the border — la frontera — and to make a home for themselves in a new land. Inspired by the childhood immigration experience of co-author Alfredo Alva, this story of perseverance is told in both Spanish and English to empower language-learning. Includes 4 pages of endnotes that unpack facts about Alfredo’s story and other stories like his / borders and borders around the world to help parents and educators talk with children about immigration, resilience, empathy and belonging.

Written by a Muslim author and illustrated by a Muslim artist, the story immerses readers in the rituals of Ramadan, while endnotes provide additional factual information about Ramadan.

We have a Spanish only and a English Spanish bilingual wereion available.

Zahra hugs her cherished teddy bear and prays that Ramadan will bring her a longed-for sister. When her bear subsequently goes missing, Zahra finds herself grappling with intense feelings of loss. Over the next few weeks, as she volunteers with her mother at a local shelter for asylum seekers, Zahra befriends a displaced child, resulting in a newfound sense of gratitude and an unexpected Ramadan blessing.

Ya estamos oficialmente en el “Tuki, Tuki” season! No hay tema más emblemático de las Navidades en Latino America que la canción del “Burrito Sabanero”. Con un ritmo contagioso y sus líricas sencillas se ha consagrado como uno de los aguinaldos (villancico/corito) de Navidad más importante de nuestra cultura. Sin duda, escuchar esta canción es una inyección de nostalgia y me lleva de vuelta a esos viejos tiempos. Ahora que soy mamá, el escuchar a mis hijos cantar esta canción y oírlos disfrutar del Tuki Tuki Tuki con una gran sonrisa no tiene precio.

En este post te comparto algunos datos curiosos que he aprendido sobre la canción.

🫏 Fue escrita en Venezuela por Hugo Blanco en 1972

🫏 originalmente grabado por Tío Simón, un icono de la música venezolana. Después de su mu**to, fue grabada de nueve por el grupo infantil la Rondallita y como vocalista principal Ricardo Cuenci.

🫏 en los 80’s la canción transcendí fronteras y fue grabada en varios idiomas. Se hizo popular en muchos lugares del planeta.

🫏 La Revista Billboard la catalogó como una de las 100 mejores canciones del Navidad de todos los tiempos.

Ahora contame vos: ¿creciste con el Burrito Sabanero? ¿Has compartido esta canción con tus peques en casa o@en el aula? ¿Cual es tu versión favorita?

Gorgeous, fascinating and full of lore…
The scarlet macaw is Honduras national bird and the Mayans revered this beautiful feathered creature and thought of him as the reincarnation of 🔥fire🔥 itself!
❤️ Loud but loyal 👉 Once they find a mate, they will share their nest with only one partner in their lifetime.

🪶To the Mayans, the feathers colors were simbolic:
💥RED- The sun rays and fire
☀️YELLOW- The sun
🌐BLUE- The sky
🗣 Macaws can speak. They can create speech with their syrinx and tongue, allowing them to learn human words and even songs. 🎶.
🛑These beautiful birds are highly sought after, as they can be great pets, and are frequently poached. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is supporting long term efforts in Mexico and Honduras with grants. 🙌🏻 Conservation efforts have led to a whopping 80% reduction of poached birds in the Moskitia Region (Honduras virgin rainforest). 💪🏼🙏. Check out fws.Gov to find out how you can help!
The macaw enjoys many names in español and these are just a few:
🦜Guacamaya
🦜Papagayo
🦜Guara.
What do you call this bird? Did you learn something new?

Stay tune for more ideas on how to use this beautiful creature to teach your children language and conservation… 😉

*libro del día”

Disponible en la Tiendita

🏖️ Durante el verano tendemos a preocuparnos y enfocarnos en las habilidades académicas de nuestros peques e invertimos tiempo y recursos para prepáralos para el año académico venidero. Igual que el ABC Y los 123, pensemos en la preparación socio emocional.

Aquí les comparto este bello libro traído de 🇦🇷 con sencillas pero bellas ilustraciones y texto en español. Este libro caratula dura está apto para ninos 3+.

Este libro te brinda un 2x1 en el sentido que puedes trabajar el alfabeto en español y te brinda un sinfín de palabras que ayudan a describir nuestros sentimientos de muchísimas maneras.

Una de las habilidades fundamentales para la salud mental de nuestros hijos es brindarles el vocabulario para poder identificar y expresar cómo se sienten. Al final de este libro hay espacio para llenar y te da oportunidad de practicar compartiendo como nos sentimos. Inclusive, pueden ir agregando sus propias palabras y van sumando a este vasto repertorio de emociones.

¿Cuéntenme cómo está tu biblioteca en casa? Tenes libros que ayuden a identificar/gestionar sentimientos? Tenes preguntas de cómo y cuándo comenzar una conversación girada a como nos sentimos? Te leo en los comentarios.

Positive affirmations are fundamental a a healthy sense of sense, enhance coping skills and creates a positive mindset.

Positive affirmations have been found to have neuropsychological effects as they alter brain responses and behaviors. These are how children learn self-talk. Acquiring the ability to change our thoughts allows us to regulate our feelings.

Depending on your child’s age, affirmations can look a little different.

These are my TOP 5 favorite books about affirmations, self-confidence and empowerment:
📚”Yo soy”
📚”A veces yo soy todo lo que necesito”
📚La joya interior
📚Mi voz
📚Retazos

Incorporate books into your story time that help that help children find their inner voice and authentic self.

Do you practice self-talk and positive affirmations yourself? If the answer is no- I challenge you to practice along as modeling these skills for our children is one of the most powerful ways we can teach these skills to our chiquitos. ✨

Let’s practice together: what is/are positive affirmation/s you tell yourself?

These are some of mine that get me through the 💩 days:
✨I am brave
✨ I am strong
✨ I am resilient
