Around Latin America in Bilingual Books

We just got back from our trip to Ecuador! It was a fabulous experience to have my children visit again the place that is so dear to my heart. (Check out our adventures on the gram!)  This recent trip to Ecuador was by far the busiest one; we were hopping from one place to another!  The girls are getting older so they are more interested to discover a country that seems both familiar and foreign to them.

Now that I am back home, I am gathering ideas to keep curiosity and interest in the culture and Spanish alive. The girls are especially interested in learning more about volcanoes and the Amazon. I thought to take advantage of that, and teach them more about other Latin American countries. And, of course, books are perfect resources!

Join us traveling around Latin America from the comfort of our homes. From Mexico to Argentina, I have gathered bilingual books that represent a specific Latin American country.  You will notice that I am missing a few places so if you know of a bilingual book that tells the story of a person, place or thing from the country that I am missing from the list, please let me know.

Let summer travel begin!
