Six kids are ready to play—three speak English. Y tres hablan español—three speak Spanish. But all of them laugh alike and together!

This clever playground adventure weaves together bilingual Spanish and English conversations, allowing two groups of children to express similar thoughts in their own languages.

A brand new barrier-breaking and friendship-affirming bilingual picture book from award-winning author Carmen T. Bernier-Grand (Diego: Bigger than Life), We Laugh Alike / Juntos nos reímos captures the essence of understanding and camaraderie. Three kids are playing at the park when three more arrive. The groups can't understand each other because one trio speaks only English and the other only Spanish. Yet, they express similar thoughts in their own languages.

Aquí interactúan el inglés y el español. Can they find a way to play? Of course, they can! By watching each other, both groups learn that they are more alike than different and end up discovering new words and making new friends in this adventure propelled by clever integrated Spanish dialogue.
