Pepita Talks Twice (Pepita habla dos veces)

Frustrated at constantly being stopped to translate, Pepita decides to stop speaking Spanish, not realizing that this means she can't talk to her grandmother, sing with her friends, and worst of all, her dog Lobo won't come to her when she calls him Wolf. This colorfully illustrated picture book charmingly explores the joys and benefits of bilingualism through the experiences of a little girl at the crossroads of the English and Spanish-speaking worlds.
