Originally written in Spanish but also available in English, this is the perfect story to read in homes that are bilingual or for those parents who would like to expose their children to the possibility of learning a second language.
Chances are, when we think of a hero, the first person that comes to mind for many of us is our daddy. I know that at the tender age of almost 53, my 83 year old dad is definitely still my hero, or as this story would describe him, my big bear.
A child’s perception of their parents is molded by the memories and experiences they share. Award winning children’s author, Del Mazo, puts into words how incredibly important it is to be the hero your kids need by doing every day ordinary, yet extraordinary, things.
In this precious story of a little girl and her two bears, Del Mazo takes readers on a simple, albeit wonderful, adventure that showcases a special relationship. The day is filled with experiences that each of her bears is instrumental in providing. Each activity is accompanied by Bonilla’s beautiful illustrations, offering us a striking visual representation of the child’s view of her bears.
This is the kind of story that will engage young readers both because of the story itself, and because of the surprise disclosure at the end. It is a great classroom read-aloud, a story for daddy (or mommy) to read to little ones, a fun Father’s Day gift, or even a present for a daddy-to-be.
Originally written in Spanish but also available in English, this is the perfect story to read in homes that are bilingual or for those parents who would like to expose their children to the possibility of learning a second language.
Written for ages 3-7, this is a story that will surely be repeatedly enjoyed by parents and their children. Of course, if a little bear joins you at reading time, it is sure to be even more special since we know that it’s good to have one bear but…having two is much better.
