Review
Praise for Besos for Baby:"Each two-page spread features a bouncy rhyme in English followed by the perky Spanish refrain. Gomez's cute and blocky illustrations in cheery colors clearly depict each character, and a picture glossary at the end defines each Spanish word. Little ones will be delighted by the happy faces and affectionate world little bebé explores."--Booklist

About the Author
Jen Arena is lucky to have been surrounded by great children's books her whole life. As a teenager, she worked at a children's-only independent bookstore in Pennsylvania, and after graduating from college, she made her way to New York City, where she found a job in children's book publishing. Since then she's written many books for kids (most under her maiden name, Jennifer Dussling). Jen lives on Long Island with her Argentinean husband, Dario. Dario ended phone conversations with his family with the words "
besos, muchos besos," which sparked the idea for
Besos for Baby.
