Inspired by his hard-working and loving parents, author, Edward Lee Rocha, created the ‘La Familia Rocha’ series in their honor to tell the story of how they met and got married in their hometown of Cuero, Texas. The series features stories and illustrations based on real memories and pictures of them in their youth!
La Familia Rocha series is an introductory Spanish series for children language learners. The goal is to help students practice Spanish while having fun and learning vocabulary. Each book in the series will be progressive in nature. Readers will learn more Spanish, but also learn more about the characters in the series. This children’s book is ideal for parents and children alike. At the bottom of each page, students and parents can find Spanish vocabulary words and their English translations. This Complete Version of the 6-part series is Bilingual in that it not only is written in Spanish with Spanish vocabulary terms but includes complete English translation on each page providing a truly comprehensive learning experience.
For students who want to expand their Spanish language learning experience, we recommend you buy Rola Languages’ Spanish: Level 1 textbook! Each La Familia Rocha book was designed to accompany a chapter in the Rola Languages’ Spanish: Level 1 textbook. It’s a great complimentary children’s book to be used hand in hand with the textbook.
While this is a work of love dedicated to his parents, it’s also an education project to promote bilingualism, multiculturalism, and cultural awareness of growing up Latino in a small town with a big family. This language learning experience will be fun, with fantastic illustrations, and great content! ¡Buena Suerte!
