About this book

Español

La intérprete

Un conmovedor libro ilustrado sobre una niña con dos trabajos: futbolista y traductora para sus padres hispanohablantes. Cuando Cecilia no está anotando goles, acompaña a sus padres a lugares de adultos como la oficina de licencias, el contador o el taller mecánico, ayudándolos a comunicarse en inglés y español. Es un trabajo importante, a veces divertido, pero también agotador. Entre disfrutar su niñez y cumplir su rol de intérprete, Cecilia se pregunta si es hora de pedir un tiempo muerto. Una historia cálida que refleja la vida de familias inmigrantes bilingües y el valor del trabajo en equipo.

English

The Interpreter

A sharp, heartfelt picture book about a girl with two jobs: soccer-loving kid and interpreter for her Spanish-speaking parents. When Cecilia isn't scoring goals on the field, she's helping her parents navigate grown-up places like the DMV, the accountant's office, and the auto shop, translating between English and Spanish. It's important work, sometimes fun, but exhausting too. Balancing childhood and responsibility, Cecilia wonders if it's time to call a time-out. A warm, relatable story capturing the reality of bilingual immigrant families and the power of teamwork.
