The Chicago Public Library has released a list of recommended books for children aged 0 to 13 years, aimed at readers looking for literature in Spanish, bilingual formats, or Spanglish. This curated list offers children and preadolescents a range of options designed to foster reading habits and engage young minds with diverse narratives.
The list includes bilingual books that contain the same story in two different languages, catering to households where multilingualism is celebrated. Books that incorporate Spanglish present a blend of English and Spanish, reflecting the linguistic richness found in many communities.
Graphic novels for children are also recommended, offering a combination of images and text in a comic-style format. For preadolescents, there are graphic novels that explore themes of personal development, family, friendship, and fantasy, using the same visually engaging style.
Chapter books and novels for preadolescents typically delve into imaginative stories addressing topics such as family, friendship, personal discovery, and adventures. For those interested in factual content, informational books provide insights or data on real-life topics, including science, history, and culture.
The library encourages families to visit and pick up a copy of "Encuentra una gran lectura" for a comprehensive list of authors and titles available in Spanish.
