TLA releases Tejas Star Reading List of Spanish, bilingual titles<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Texas Library Association is pleased to announce the <\/span>2020-2021 Tejas Star Reading List<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. This carefully curated list of Spanish and bilingual titles is designed to encourage children ages five to twelve to explore multicultural books and to discover the cognitive and economic benefits of bilingualism and multilingualism.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is an old Spanish saying that states, \u201cQuien sabe dos lenguas, vale por do<\/em>s,<\/em>\u201d meaning that a person who knows two languages is worth twice as much. It is the hope of the Tejas Star Reading List committee that these books will play a part in making this a reality for readers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The list includes fiction and non-fiction picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels with themes of cultural identity, STEM, and environmental action, as well as stories about Latin-American countries and important historical figures. Among the twenty-four books on this year\u2019s list are stories that may make readers laugh, cry, celebrate who they are, and take ownership of their world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
