Now in Spanish, a girl follows clues that lead to Mommy!

Now in Spanish is the story of a girl, her mother, and their cat who are snuggled up on a couch and reading a book. The girl falls asleep, and when she wakes up, Mommy is gone. Where could she be?

The girl searches the house, picks up clues (including a recipe for kale and a sunhat and gardening gloves that come and go). And she figures out where Mommy is - in the garden!

¡Me Gusta Leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read® books. The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on books for kindergarten through first grade. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
Pat Cummings has illustrated more than thirty children's books, some of which she also wrote. She won the Coretta Scott King Award for her illustrations in My Mama Needs Me, and she has also won the NAACP Image Award. Pat has made a lifelong commitment to celebrating diversity, and it is reflected in her work. She lives with her husband Chukku Lee in Brooklyn, New York, where she also works as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Pratt Institute.
