Fiesta Babies
by Carmen Tafolla

Hispanic Multicultural Children’s Books – Babies & Toddlers: Fiesta Babies

The Fiesta Babies dance, march on parade and sing along to mariachi songs in this spirited celebration of fiestas. Luckily for the parents, the babies don’t mind a siesta either! Simple rhymes with Spanish words sprinkled throughout complement the coulourful illustrations. I particularly like the fact that the featured Hispanic children have varying skin tones, from light to dark. A lovely way of teaching little ones that diversity comes in all sorts of shades, even within the same ethnicity!
