[Bilingual Book] Don't be Scared! ¡No Tengas Miedo!

In today’s episode, we are reading a beautiful bilingual book for families: No tengas miedo / Don’t Be Afraid by Ingo Blum.

This story is perfect for families raising bilingual children, with the text presented in both Spanish and English—making it a gentle and meaningful read that helps build language and emotional vocabulary at the same time. This story is all about courage, kindness, and facing big feelings with love and understanding. It's a sweet reminder for little ones (and grown-ups, too!) that it’s okay to feel scared—and that with support, we can be brave.

In this special episode, I had two amazing guest voices who helped bring the story to life. A big thank you to Darciah Costa and Cristian Varela for sharing their voices, accents, and heart in this reading. I’m so grateful to have you as part of this journey. ¡Mil gracias!
