Alma and her Family is a bilingual board book based on the picture book character from Alma and How She Got Her Name.   This book introduces children to some family members and some easy verbs (kiss, paint, squeeze) in English and Spanish.  The text is easy to follow as the English is in black text and the Spanish is in light blue.  The illustrations are large, covering most of the pages.  The colors are soft and not overwhelming.  The pictures match the text perfectly and convey the deep love that Alma and her family feel for each other.  This board book would be a great addition to any public library.
