Fábulas Cubanas Vol. 1

A Bilingual Collection of Cuban Fables · Ages 5–10 · 101 pages

Some stories are older than books. They live in the animals of an island — in the way a tocororo refuses a golden cage, in the way the world's smallest hummingbird crosses an open sea, in the way a young crocodile fights his own reflection and learns something true about himself.

These are those stories.

What's inside:

10 original bilingual fables, each featuring a character inspired by Cuba's wildlife and landscape. Every fable runs 10 illustrated pages with its moral stated in both languages at the close. Spanish text appears large and primary. English translation follows in a smaller italic font, the same bilingual format trusted by Cuban families across this series.

Who this book is for:

For Cuban families raising children far from the island — wherever in the world that may be. These fables carry the animals, the landscape, and the spirit of Cuba into any home, in any country, in any language. For bilingual educators looking for culturally rich, curriculum-ready read-alouds with built-in discussion starters in every moral. For grandparents who want to pass something true to grandchildren who may never have seen the island. For anyone who wants to give a child a book that treats them as someone capable of carrying a real idea  and a real heritage.
