PreS-K-Six positive values (civility, courage, empathy, friendship, hope, and self-control) are presented in this Spanish series for early and developing readers. Each book is divided into five sections that define the concept and give real-world examples of how the value is carried out by familiar faces in the community. The visual glossaries provide a review of each concept, with three or four pictures paired with simple descriptions to ensure comprehension. Each spread includes one photograph and one simple sentence, with new words in bold, and plenty of white space around words. Photographs thoughtfully reflect intersectional diversity and feature a variety of family styles and experiences. VERDICT An engaging look at how values make a positive difference in everyday life, this series is a great choice for collections that serve linguistically diverse readers.
