Children's Books About Lotería




This week Google updated its homepage to feature a Doodle inspired by Lotería. https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-loteria

If you haven’t played it yet, visit Google and then you can read one, two or all of these children’s books to your niños. Let’s play lotería!




Playing Loteria /El juego de la lotería


Written by René Colato Laínez 
Illustrated by Jill Arena

Together a little boy and his grandma discover a world of language and realize that loved ones have special ways of understanding each other.


 Braids/Trencitas



Written by Kathleen Contreras 
Illustrated by Margaret Lindmark

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.


 The King of Things/El Rey de las Cosas



By Artemio Rodriguez

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.


Loteria: First Words / Primeras Palabras


Written by Patty Rodriguez  and Ariana Stein 
Illustrated by Citlali Reyes


Introduce your little one to one of the oldest games of chance, Loteria, as you teach them their first English and Spanish words! Learn el gallo (the rooster), la luna (the moon), el corazón (the heart), and more.
