Español

Lagartijita

La pequeña Lizzy se quedó dormida mientras su papá le contaba un cuento. Al despertar, se sorprende al ver que tiene piernas diminutas y unos pies raros. Se mira al espejo y se pregunta en qué se ha convertido. Su papá baila mientras se cepilla los dientes y casi la pisa. Así que se arrastra hasta la sala y le pregunta a su gato si sabe qué es. ¡El felino decide que debe ser un juguete divertido! Al salir corriendo, encuentra a su perro, ¡que piensa que parece un bocadillo delicioso! Mientras Lizzy sigue deambulando, se encuentra con una variedad de animales: arañas, una hermosa mariposa, un ejército de hormigas, todos con opiniones diferentes y confusas sobre ella. Más tarde, al abrir los ojos, se alegra mucho de ver a su papá, y él sabe exactamente quién es: ¡su "dulce y preciosa niña"! Este divertido libro ilustrado bilingüe para niños de 4 a 8 años contiene las hermosas ilustraciones de Steven James Petruccio de la niña geco y las criaturas que conoce en su viaje de descubrimiento. Esta animada historia animará a los niños pequeños a contar y escribir sus propias historias sobre la identidad y el mundo que los rodea.

Gecko Girl

Young Lizzy fell asleep while her dad was telling her a story. When she wakes up, she’s shocked to see she has tiny legs and weird little feet! She looks in the mirror and wonders what she has become.

Her father is dancing while brushing his teeth and nearly steps on her! So she crawls into the living room and asks their cat if he knows what she is. The feline decides she must be a fun toy! Running outside, she finds their dog, who thinks she looks like a tasty snack! As Lizzy continues wandering, she encounters an assortment of animals―spiders, a beautiful butterfly, an army of ants―all of whom have different, confusing opinions about her.

Later, when she opens her eyes, she’s very happy to see her daddy―and he knows exactly who she is: his “sweet, precious girl!” This whimsical bilingual picture book for children ages 4-8 contains Steven James Petruccio’s beautiful illustrations of the gecko girl and the creatures she meets on her journey of discovery. This lively story is sure to encourage young children to tell―and write―their own tales about identity and the world around them.
