Rooster/Gallo

Reach for this book when you want to slow down and share a moment of quiet awe with your toddler or preschooler. It is a perfect choice for those early morning snuggles or as a gentle bridge into a nap, helping children find beauty in the natural rhythm of the day. This nine-line bilingual poem explores the transition from dawn to daylight through the perspective of a rooster who calls the sun into being. Through its dreamy, acrylic illustrations, the book moves from the deep blues of night to the warm oranges of morning. It introduces the concept of how color and light change our world while celebrating the simple, powerful act of waking up. For parents raising bilingual children or those wanting to introduce Spanish in a rhythmic, low-pressure way, this book provides a lyrical and culturally rich experience that feels more like a lullaby than a lesson.
