Squawk of Spanish -- Gabriella Aldeman, Hardcover

Max finds his Spanish-speaking voice with the help of his abuela's pet, Lorito, a talkative parrot, in this sweet and heartwarming picture book.

Max isn't confident with his Spanish, especially rolling his Rs, and his cousins always tease him about it. But he loves spending weekends baking with his Spanish-speaking abuela, while Lorito the parrot helps translate.

But when Lorito disappears for a day, Max and Abuela must figure out how to communicate. Max's Spanish doesn't have to be perfect, and Abuela can attempt a little English. Trying is what counts!
