Reading
Teaching children about diversity and race can be a complicated subject especially for a child who may have trouble comprehending why race is even an issue in the first place. Making your children aware of race issues is best done by having honest talks and explaining to them that even though people may be different culturally, everyone has something unique to offer. This can eventually lead to a world where cultures are accepted, differences are celebrated, and racial intolerance is a thing of the past.

The award-winning stories we offer in Spanish cover a wide range of topics and themes, and have universal appeal.

They meticulously adapt each book to capture the voice of the author and the meaning, style and flavor of the story.
Lee & Low’s Arcoiris Books are Spanish translations of some of our most popular books. Arcoiris means “rainbow” in Spanish.
