Industry Reviews

"A short, nicely illustrated, and well-written story in both languages, that stimulates dreams in children," -Mar­a E. D­az, former New York Times journalist.


"As a school teacher, I highly recommend The Moon, Julia, and the Telescope," -Patti Sands, Montessori school teacher.


"A delightful bilingual bedtime book where fiction and factual blend together. As Julia learns from her Dad facts about our galaxy her dream to visit the moon comes true." -Beatriz Payot, former elementary teacher.


"The book is pure poetic sweetness. My children (boy and girl of 4) often ask for it before bedtime. It is one of our favorite books! The illustrations are beautiful and spark our imagination. The book and Julia's story grows and grows each night. And it can be read in English or Spanish! I recommend it not with eyes closed, but with eyes wide open!," -Marcel Rasquin, award-winning film producer.


I loved this story that is complemented with beautiful illustrations, I think it is a beautiful story to share as a family, both for those who are of Hispanic origin and for those who want their English speaking children to learn Spanish as a second language. The terms are easy to understand in both languages and are very well complemented by the illustrations." -Alexandra Castrillon, author of the award-winning novel, I´m Dying to Live.


"We read "The Moon, Julia, and the telescope" (La Luna, Julia, y el telescopio) for both an in-person and virtual story time with children birth through eight years old. The children all loved the book and were very engaged with the story. We appreciate that the book is bilingual so that both our English and Spanish speaking families can enjoy it", -Molly Vandever, Communications Specialist at Early Learning Works.


"My granddaughter read the book in English and loved it! She is studying Spanish at school and after bringing it to school, her teacher is using it in the classroom. The format of English on the right page and Spanish on the left page makes it a good language aid. The students, both boys and girls, are really enjoying it. It is not only a charming, whimsical story but an easy way to introduce Spanish!", -Delia Hamlin, Business Consultant.
