Omar, el jaguar: (Bilingual Edition) - Paperback

by Andrea Olatunji (Author)

Winner of the International Book Awards (Educational), Moonbeam Awards (Conservation), and KidsShelf Books Cover Design Awards, this is a beautifully illustrated picture book that celebrates diversity. Written by a Spanish teacher, the rhyming and repetitive story introduces kids to basic vocabulary and expressions while taking them through a fascinating trip in the Amazon Forest.

Omar is a lonely jaguar that wants to make friends. He encounters other animals that invite him to play but he refuses because these don't look like him. Later, however, he changes his mind as he realizes that they have more in common than he thought and that being different can be an advantage after all.
