I would share this learning Spanish book with the school next door which is the Intergenerational School. The students are attentive and love to share opinions. As a joint effort and as a community, we are building a multi-generation playground and walking trail which includes a Little Library where books can be given and taken, so the lifelong learning with reading can continue.
Congratulations, Tara O. (MO), David S. (CA), and Robert R. (FL)! You are the 3 lucky winners of this giveaway.
