Happy Birthday, José and Feliz

José and his dog celebrate their birthdays together in this fun early reader that uses both Spanish and English!

On his sister Sofi's birthday, José realizes that everyone deserves a special celebration—even his furry best friend, Feliz. Determined to give his dog the fiesta he deserves, José gets a great idea: He will share his own birthday with Feliz!

Filled with love, laughter, and a few howls, this charming story showcases the joy of sharing special moments with those we love, no matter how many legs they have. With delightful illustrations and a glossary of Spanish words and phrases, young readers will enjoy learning a new language while celebrating the universal themes of friendship and family.

This early reader, cowritten by notable Broadway producer Susan Rose and children’s book author Silvia López, is the perfect introduction to independent reading for English-speaking children who have just begun learning Spanish. The inclusion of the Spanish/English translations at the end of the book also makes it an excellent teaching tool.
