Sophia and Alex Go to Preschool is the first in the series of ten illustrated children books with Spanish/English parallel text. The series is specifically designed to help bilingual children achieve higher levels of curiosity, confidence, creativity and compassion, while inspiring families to preserve their native culture and language. At Advance Books, we believe that when we celebrate our differences, we find our similarities. Our picture books are translated into more than a dozen world languages, and span the spectrum of cultures that spotlight the diversity of cultures and languages found in our schools and communities today. Follow with Sophia and Alex as they experience their new preschool and the fun activities of the day. As the story closes, we find the children anxious to return the next day to play with their new friends. Follow along with them in their next book, Sophia and Alex Make Friends at School.
