This is an annotated list of current titles recommended for purchase.
I appreciated the short descriptions in Spanish and English and the recommended ages for reading aloud and sharing. The selections range from books for infants and toddlers to picture books for older children.

The Spanish Language Affiliate of the Children’s Book Committee at Bank Street College of Education is pleased to announce its annual
Best Spanish Language Picture Books 2020 List. This compendium of materials is for works published or translated in 2019.
Reviewers for the list included Spanish speaking members of the Children’s Book Committee as well as Bank Street College professors and alumni. Each book was given the same rigorous review for cultural authenticity, language, translation and appeal to children that the committee gives its English language and bilingual recommendations.
