Learning Spanish with Solé series

Learning Spanish with Solé - Learning Spanish with Solé, it's an interactive book that introduces basic Spanish to little kids.

Learning Spanish with Solé: All About Rhode Island - This delightful bilingual book will show your child the beautiful state of Rhode Island, the place I call home with my family, while learning vocabulary in spanish

Learning Spanish with Solé: All About Grandma - Growing up with amazing Grandma’s gave me the best memories and a happy childhood. This bilingual book introduces you to everyday Spanish vocabulary through the wonderful experiences shared with my Grandma.

Tell us a little about how “Learning Spanish with Solé” series came to be. Did it start with an image, a voice, a concept, a dilemma or something else? 

I published four bilingual children's books.  One is about Rhode Island titled “Learning Spanish with Solé, All about Rhode Island”.  It focuses on teaching basic Spanish vocabulary using beautiful Rhode Island as the backdrop. The second is called  “Learning Spanish with Solé 1” to introduce numbers, shapes and colors to babies and toddlers. 

Learning Spanish with Solé “All about Grandma” is based on my childhood memories with my Grandmother.  This book is full of more advance vocabulary in Spanish. Lastly, Learning Spanish with Solé is a small cardboard book for babies, it was the first book I published and has basic vocabulary about family members.

Which scene, character or plotline changed the most from first draft to published book? 

The characters are my two sons, my husband and myself.

What do you like best about being a writer? 

To be able to teach in a fun and creative way.

If you could collaborate with any author past or present, who would it be? What would the title of the book be? (If possible) - Give us a one sentence blurb.  

I would like to collaborate with Dr. Seuss.
