Created by a Parent, for ParentsAuthor Angela Costa Simões, a third-generation Portuguese American, wrote this book after discovering how difficult it was to teach her own daughter Portuguese when most children's books were available only in Portuguese.
"I wanted my daughter to grow up speaking Portuguese, but because I wasn't fluent myself, reading Portuguese books together was difficult. I created bilingual books so parents like me could learn right alongside their children. I hope your family enjoys that same experience."
Whether you're introducing Portuguese for the first time or celebrating your family's heritage, Pretty Girl • Linda Menina makes bilingual learning feel warm, natural, and full of love.
A beautiful keepsake for babies, toddlers, grandchildren, and every family hoping to pass on the gift of the Portuguese language.
