Gracias/Thanks Pat Mora John Parra

Gracias/Thanks by Pat Mora illus by John Parra
This is a wonderful bilingual picture book about a boy giving thanks. He thanks everything from the sun that wakes him up in the morning to the crickets that serende him to sleep. I love Parra's colorful illustrations. This is one of those books, I appreicated more the second time around. I rushed through it the first time and missed it simple beauty, and now its all I see.

I am going to try something new. From now on when I review a bilingual picture book. I will say a few sentences in Spanish. Anyone who speaks Spanish feel free to correct me in the comment box . Or leave suggestions of other things I could've said.

Gracias/Thanks es un excelente libro ilustrado. Nino dice gracias de todas. Encantas del coloride ilustraciones. Los colores templado gusta primavera.

I'm not very good with spanish myself, so I'm guessing you wrote something about liking the colors of the illustrations? Props on being brave enought to put it out there! :)

Thanks Mardel

Your guess would be correct. Next time I am going to try for four sentences.
