Beba loves questions. Big ones, small ones, twisty-tall ones-they sparkle through her mind like fireflies at dusk.
But tonight, Beba carries her biggest question yet: How can she be a better friend to Marie, the new girl from Puerto Rico?
With her mamá's help, Beba discovers something wonderful. Puerto Rico lives in her corazón (koh-rah-SOHN = heart). It lives in:
- TaÃno stories whispered long ago
- Spanish songs that hum and rhyme
- African rhythms-BOOM, BOOM, CLAP!
- delicious foods that make her tummy rumble
- joyful celebrations bursting with light
From arroz con gandules to parrandas, from shining estrellas (es-TRAY-yahs = stars) to the bright Puerto Rican flag, Beba learns a sweet truth: friendship grows stronger when we share who we are.
Will Beba find the courage to reach out? Will she discover an amiga (ah-MEE-gah = friend) who feels like family?
Why families and teachers love this book:
- A warm bilingual journey-Spanish words woven in with easy pronunciation guides, perfect for new and confident readers alike.
- Vibrant cultural pride-a heartfelt celebration of Puerto Rican heritage, stories, food, and music.
- Big themes, tender heart-friendship, family, identity, and belonging, told just right for ages 3 to 7.
- Made for reading aloud-sound words and rhythms invite little hands to clap and little voices to sing along.
Beba's Island Heart is a joyful bilingual picture book about family, identity, and the magic of finding a friend.
One island. Many stories. All in your heart.
Come dream beneath the stars, mi amor (mee ah-MOR = my love).
