Bilingual Books (English/Spanish)

Whether your kids are native Spanish speakers, students learning Spanish in school, or just lovers of a good story, they'll find a lot to enjoy in these bilingual books. Some offer a few Spanish words and phrases mixed in with English. Others have a translation of the whole text. Many mirror typical kid experiences, from visiting a supermarket or sharing a family meal to enjoying multicultural holiday traditions. And you'll find books that help kids understand the immigrant experience. You can also check out our Books with Latino Characters list and our Spanish-language content on Common Sense Latino.
