Where can I get bilingual books? Onde posso achar livros bilingues?

It has been a while, so I'd like to update you on a few of our achievements as well as address where to find great bilingual books locally.

To date we have had three well attended bilingual Portuguese/English storytimes held at the East Providence Public Library which have included songs, books read by parents, and shadow puppet theater! Thanks to all who attended or participated. Thanks especially to Isabel and Bia!

Thanks also to Pam, the children's librarian who has supported our efforts with the purchase of 20 new bilingual storybooks to the Portuguese children's collection. For those who live nearby, please stop by the East Providence Library (Weaver Branch) and borrow some of these wonderful books to share with your children. Anyone with a Rhode Island library card can take these books out for 3 weeks free of charge!


Many of you may be wondering where you can purchase engaging, colorful reasonably priced bilingual books. One great option is to purchase online at Languagelizard.com  They have an excellent collection of bilingual children's books in more than 30 languages including Portuguese/English.
