A conversational, bilingual story about two talkative giraffes who befriend a baby ostrich, now available in board book for our youngest Spanish speakers and kids eager to learn a new language!

When two giraffe friends find a baby ostrich, they have some questions: Is baby ostrich hungry? Shy? Tired?
Ostrich says no! So how does she feel?

Friendship awaits in this bilingual book about feelings, How Are You? / ¿Cómo estás? by Angela Dominguez—expressed both in English and in Spanish.

Angela Dominguez was born in Mexico City and grew up in the great state of Texas. She now resides on the east coast with her boyfriend, Kyle, and their petite dog, Petunia. She is also the author and illustrator of several books for children and a two-time recipient of Pura Belpré Illustration Honor. Her debut middle grade novel, Stella Díaz Has Something To Say, was a New York Public Library and a Chicago Public Library pick for Best Books for Kids, Sid Fleischman Award winner, and an ALA Notable. She recently illustrated Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s newest picture book, Just Help! How to Build a Better World. As a child, she loved reading books and making a mess creating pictures. She’s delighted to still be doing both.
