Andrea Cáceres: My Dog Just Speaks Spanish, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

"A delightful romp with a beloved pet and a valuable language lesson to boot." ---Shelf Awareness When Aurora came to the United States, she learned to speak English. But her spaniel, Nena, did not. Sweet Nena loves to give besos, and she knows only Spanish. She doesn't know SIT, but she does know SIÉNTATE. She doesn't know WAIT, but she does know ESPERA. And while TREAT doesn't mean anything to Nena, she can certainly sniff out a POSTRE! At the park, Nena may not know what the other dog owners are saying, but she and Aurora will always understand each other just fine. Borrowing from her lived experience, Venezuelan-American author-illustrator Andrea Cáceres offers a gentle, charmingly illustrated ode to love that extends a hand---or a paw---to readers who may feel displaced or are learning a new language themselves.
