children's book + giveaway [closed]


Last October I was painting like mad to complete this lovely little children's book for Bab'l Books, and now it's here!

I've done a couple other books for them in the past, and I've expounded on how much I love what this company is doing. Their aim is to provide books in a variety of languages for bilingual children all over the world. Each book is printed with dual language text of the languages available on their site.

I have an extra copy of How to Eat a Rainbow that I would love one of you to have! For GIVEAWAY details, see the bottom of the post >>>



Here are a few sneaky peeks of the book! I gotta say, it's pretty unreal to hold the final product of something I illustrated myself. Little Evelyn would probably have fainted if she were here.


I've loved reading this to my own little girl in my native tongue, but it is also cool to listen to her Grandma read it in her language. Plus, it's so crazy and amazing to think that Talia will have a book in her growing library with my name on it.

Okay! Like I said, I want to give away one book in Spanish/English to one of my lovely followers.
To enter, simply go to Bab'l Books and comment below what other book/language caught your eye.

For an extra entry, go over to my Instagram and enter there!
If you just can't wait and want to buy it now, head over here to buy the Spanish/English version, or their site to find the book in Portuguese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and French.


Good luck and as always, thanks for being here :)

  6. My sister-in-law would love this! If I win, I'm giving it to her to read to her bilingual children, right after I read it to my children! I think we would also like "Brody Bear Goes Fishing."
