SMP's Spanish Language Titles

 

Exciting New Additions to Shout Mouse Press’s Spanish Titles

This fall, Shout Mouse Press is delighted to bring two of its most celebrated and impactful children’s books to a Spanish-speaking audience: Deena Misses Her Mom (by Jonae, Jesse, Layonnie & Kahliya) illustrated by Leslie Jindalay Pyo and Man Up! (by Riley, London & Shirelle) illustrated by Joy Ingram.

These books have been praised for spotlighting important social and emotional themes and making them accessible for young readers. Deena Misses Her Mom shares the stress of having a loved one who is incarcerated and Man Up! centers the ways that toxic masculinity harms young boys. Both titles were written by teen writing tutors working with Reach Incorporated in DC.

Deena extraña a su mamá and ¡Pórtate como un hombre! will be arriving on October 15th, and can be ordered directly through Shout Mouse or wherever books are sold.

While these are our first Spanish-only titles, these two picture books join a broader catalogue of bilingual Spanish/English books published by Shout Mouse Press.

For our youngest readers, we have Central America, ¡mira, mira, mira!, written by Araceli, Edith & Juliana and illustrated by Shurjo Mukhi. This board book is one of four written in partnership with Generation Hope. This fun and rhythmic book, inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, was written by young mothers who wanted to celebrate their Central American heritage with their children.

 

For readers aged 4-8, the Beyond Borders series (written in partnership with young people working with the Latin American Youth Center) features bilingual Spanish/English children’s books centering the stories of immigrant families.

 

And for young adult readers, Voces Sin Fronteras: Our Stories, Our Truth is a side-by-side bilingual collection of graphic memoirs that not only builds connections across language, but also breaks down barriers and expands hope. Recently included in the New York City Public Schools curriculum, reaching over 70,000 students! The current edition features a foreword from beloved author and alumni of our Megaphone Board, Meg Medina.

We’re so excited for these wonderful and important books to reach new, Spanish-speaking audiences. If you know someone who works with Spanish-speaking youth that would really connect with either book, please email orders@shoutmousepress.org. We’d love to share review copies for consideration or discuss bulk order discounts.
