This series was constructed with a great deal of care and love. Ulises Wensell created marvelous characters and was willing to go along with my requests that the characters would look at each other, and interact with the same love and caring they have been conceived. He also was willing to multiply his efforts and agreed when illustrating a word in the workbooks to not limit the illustration to one version. For example to illustrate the word bear he created polar bears and brown bears, realistic bears and teddy bears, adult bears and baby bears. The intent is that children do not identify one word with one illustration but understand the breath of meanings in the word. This goes hand-in-hand with one of the basic tenets of bilingualism, to enrich the child's capacity to see the richness behind concepts. Suni Paz turned not only rhymes and poems, but also the rhythmic texts of many pages into songs with very varied rhythms. I've been told over and over how easy children learn to read with Hagamos caminos - each time it renews my joy. I'm also very happy to know that your children enjoy Pio Peep, a book created, like many of my work in collaboration with Isabel Campoy. I have a few copies of Hagamos caminos available as free gifts for families who are committed to give their children the powerful gift of bilingualism. Just write to me at www.almaflorada.com Of course Hagamos caminos, as well as all my other works, books and CDs, for children and adults, can be obtained by contacting Ray at www.DelSolBooks.com. All best wishes to everyone who reads this post and my thanks for this lovely post. I hsve enjoyed the words and especially the photo!
