About This Book

A young girl explores her vibrant Hispanic American neighborhood, discovering shapes everywhere she looks - round tortillas, square windows, rectangular ice cream carts. Sprinkled with Spanish words and set against John Parra's colorful folk-art illustrations, the book celebrates both geometry and culture.

Why We Love This

We love how naturally it weaves Spanish vocabulary into a story about shapes, and the warm community scenes make you feel like you're right there in the neighborhood.
