Summary

This English-Spanish bilingual picture book is a heartwarming, interactive story from Emmy Award winner and Sesame Street icon Sonia Manzano! Based on Manzano's hit animated show Alma's Way.

Alma misses her Granny Isa's warm, mushy hugs! Granny is her favorite person to play her guessing game with, but Granny hasn't arrived yet. Alma knows just what Granny would say if she were here, though: "Don't hang around with nothing to do. Find someone else to play with you!" / "No andes por ahí sin hacer nada. ¡Búscate a alguien con quien jugar!"

Alma tries to find another family member to play with, but everyone is busy. Even her friends in the park are busy! But then, Alma has a way, way, way great idea! Will you play with her?

Written by Alma's Way creator and Sesame Street star Sonia Manzano, this adorable book is like a playdate with your child's favorite character. Alma's lively story and game help kids remember: "When you don't know what to do or say, think about it -- that's Alma's Way!" / "Cuando no sabes qué hacer o decir, piénsalo: ¡eso hace Alma!"

With the text appearing in both English and Spanish on every page, this bilingual story is perfect for bilingual readers as well as Spanish speakers learning English and vice versa.
