Carlos and the Cornfield - This dual-language (Spanish and English) book tells the story of Carlos whose father offers him a little money if he will help plant the family's corn field. Carlos takes a shortcut but feels guilty and learns the meaning of the phrase 'cosechas lo que siembras'--you reap what you sow. This engaging story illustrates the simple life of a farming family and underscores the importance of hard work and honesty. https://maine.agclassroom.org/matrix/resource/465/
El Chef Roy Choi y su Remix de la Comida Callejera (Spanish Edition) - Chef Roy Choi calls himself a "street cook." He wants outsiders, low-riders, kids, teens, shufflers and skateboarders to have food cooked with care, with love, with sohn maash. "Sohn maash" is the flavors in our fingertips. It is the love and cooking talent that Korean mothers and grandmothers mix into their handmade foods. For Chef Roy Choi, food means love. It also means culture, not only of Korea where he was born, but the many cultures that make up the streets of Los Angeles, where he was raised. So remixing food from the streets, just like good music-and serving it up from a truck-is true to L.A. food culture. People smiled and talked as they waited in line. Won't you join him as he makes good food smiles? https://maine.agclassroom.org/matrix/resource/1233/

One of the school's I teach at is a dual immersion school and the teachers asked me if I had any Spanish language story books about gardening. I looked to see if any of my current English books are translated into Spanish but they are not.
Can anyone recommend some books especially for TK-3rd,
Thanks,
