A very thorough and relevant list. Thanks, Frances!
Hola Frances,
The Rafi and Rosi Coquí Series has 8 titles!
Rafi and Rosi/ Rafi y Rosi
Rafi and Rosi Carnival!/ Rafi y Rosi ¡Carnaval!
Rafi and Rosi Pirates!/ Rafi y Rosi ¡Piratas!
Rafi and Rosi Music!/Rafi y Rosi ¡Música!
All from Children’s Book Press, and imprint of Lee and Low Books. I think you were missing Pirates in your list. So terrific that the choices keep growing!
Comprehensive list but I wish it was divided up by age group. It take a lot of time to look up each one to see what the age recommendation is.
Thank you for your suggestion! I agree It is time-consuming to look up the ages. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind when adding new books.
