Wild Prairie Rosa/Rosa Silvestre de la Pradera (Bilingual English-Spanish)

As the eldest daughter, Rosa knows how to take care of her many siblings. Diaper changes, laundry, cooking, nap time . . . she can do it all! She is very responsible and never complains.
That is, until one day, when Rosa least expects it, her thorns come out! Realizing she needs a break, she takes off into the fields and rolling hills. Here she is no longer Mami and Papi’s best helper.

She is Wild Prairie Rosa!

Written in both English and Spanish, Andrea Cruz Floren’s sophomore picture book is a refreshingly glorious validation of older siblings everywhere and a celebration of our inner need to run wild.

Como hija mayor, Rosa sabe cómo cuidar de sus muchos hermanos. Ella cambia pañales, lava la ropa, cocina y prepara a sus hermanos para la siesta… ¡lo hace todo! Es muy responsable y nunca protesta.

Hasta que un día, cuando Rosa menos lo espera, ¡le salen espinas! Al darse cuenta de que necesita un descanso, ella se escapa a los campos y las colinas. Allí ya no es la mejor ayudante de su mami y papi.

¡Ella es Rosa Silvestre de la Pradera!

Escrito en inglés y español, el segundo cuento ilustrado para niños de Andrea Cruz Floren es una validación refrescante y maravillosa para los hermanos mayores en todo el mundo, y una celebración de nuestra necesidad innata de ser silvestres.
