New Releases by Susie Jaramillo

Canticos (or ''little songs'') is a branded collection of beloved nursery songs from all over the Spanish-speaking world designed to entertain and educate children of all backgrounds. Canticos products include books, apps, and sing-along videos.

The seventh book in the Canticos series of bilingual nursery rhymes, My Little Donkey / Mi Burrito revisits the classic Latino Christmas song Mi Burrito Sabanero. The song, which has been recorded by numerous popular Latino artists, tells the story of a little donkey as he makes his way to Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus Christ, guided by a star and meeting friends along the way. Like other Canticos books, My Little Donkey / Mi Burrito has a unique, interactive, accordion design that presents the Spanish version of the book in one direction and its English adaptation in the other. Children can sing the song straight through, spot their favorite Canticos characters, and stand the book up to be surrounded by the story.

Presents a bilingual version of a traditional Latin American song about skeletons rising from the grave on each hour, with art inspired by the famous Mexican "calavera" woodcut prints and clock hands to move to agree with the song.

Presents bilingual versions of the Mexican song traditionally sung at birthdays and "Happy Birthday to You."

"Los Pollitos Dicen," or "Little Chickies Squeal" is one of the most popular songs in the Spanish speaking world, akin to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in English. This English adaptation of the song is as catchy and lyrical as the Spanish version and sure to engage new audiences not familiar with the original song. The song is an homage to the demanding nature of babies and the unconditional love, care, and warmth given to them by their mommies.
