Knock, knock! Tío Ricky is in town and he needs his nephew Enrique's help! He doesn't speak any English, so his nephew has to translate for him at the store, the post office, and the bank.

It's a heartwarming story in English and Spanish that shows you don't need a superhero cape to be a hero!

Parents will adore this bilingual English-Spanish hardcover as it spotlights a nephew-uncle relationship in which language barriers know no boundaries. As well, this book showcases the genuine importance of speaking two languages, encouraging bilingualism in our future generations, and the power behind translation, especially between multigenerational individuals.



About the Author



Maritere R. Bellas is a Puerto Rican award-winning author, speaker, writer, podcast host, and bilingual parenting mentor who combined her passion for writing and her devotion to motherhood to create a diverse platform of resources for parents raising bilingual, multilingual, multicultural children long before online resources were available. Passionate about writing children's books with Latino characters and stories that highlight and celebrate Latino culture, Mari is the author of two bilingual children's books and two parenting books. Tío Ricky Doesn't Speak English is her third bilingual children's book.

Jayri Gómez is a Dominican illustrator who brings colorful worlds and endearing characters to life in every children's book she creates. Represented by Astound, she has collaborated with publishers such as Lil' Libros, Campbell Books, Scholastic, and HarperCollins among others. Since she was little, art has been her favorite corner, her safe space. She loves watching horror movies while she works, although her drawings exude tenderness. She lives in Santo Domingo with her three cats, Momo, Ginny, and Lilo, who are part of her inspiration and her daily accomplices. When she is not illustrating, she enjoys a good nap or conversations about her favorite things.
