Maria Had a Little Llama, by Angela Dominguez

Today I have a special treat for you, Wildcats!  We are going to read a different version of the song, Mary Had a Little Lamb.  In this fun picture book, Maria is from the country of Peru--and she has a llama instead of a lamb!  Even better, this book, Maria Had a Little Llama, is bilingual, which means it is written in both English and Spanish.  So I've brought a special guest reader along, my daughter Isabel, to help me!

By the way, the author of this picture book, Angela Dominguez, is one of this year's SSYRA nominees for her chapter book, Stella Díaz Has Something to Say.  Earlier in the year, we got to meet Angela Dominguez in an online author chat.  For those of you who loved Stella Diaz, the second book in her series just came out--and we've got it in the Media Center!!  Find out more about Stella Díaz Never Gives Up with a sneak peek from the author...
