This bilingual story shows the
importance of family and of reading, while also emphasizing the rewards of
passing along cultural traditions. Beautiful illustrations portray the moving
story of Bela and her grandma, who love to tell stories, braid hair, and play
lotería with the family: Our stories, like our braids, bind us forever.

In this bilingual (Spanish/English) very
early reader, Little Lalo receives inspiration from the famous Mexican lotería
game. Since Lalo is the King of Things and three years old besides, he plays
the cards and counts as his possessions the sun, the moon, a lion, a fish, a
clown, a train, the crown on his head. Each card in Lalo’s kingdom has its own
page, illustrated with a playful brightly colored woodcut.
