Susie Jaramillo: Susie Jaramillo is a mom, an artist and a creative director raising two bilingual children. She worked for many years in advertising having co-founded the vox collective, a NY-based boutique multicultural agency where she served as Chief Creative Officer until 2012. She attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where she majored in painting and illustration. Susie Grew up between Venezuela and the United States, always going back and forth fluently between cultures. As a child, she was exposed to songs and traditions from both the United States and Latin America. To bring to life all the things she loved about her Latino culture she created Canticos -- and now kids of all ages can enjoy these nursery rhymes and songs! She lives in Brooklyn.
Filled with playful and colorfully painted animals by Venezuelan illustrator Jaramillo, you are swept up in a visual sing-along of a beloved rhyme. The book's sturdy pages and flaps are great for little fingers, and the accordion format is unique: the Spanish side opens to the Spanish text, but if you flip the book, the opposite is true for the English text. Adorable and interactive, including links to an app featuring a sing-along video in six languages. Rosie Camargo, Booklist
