"One could not anticipate this majesty and drama . . . Illuminations is riveting, following von Bingen through . . . to emerge as one of the significant voices of the 12th century . . . Unforgettable." --January Magazine One of the most extraordinary women of the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen--Benedictine abbess, healer, composer, saint--experienced mystic visions from a very young age. Offered by her noble family to the Church at the age of eight, she lived for years in forced silence. But through the study of books and herbs, through music and the kinship of her sisters, Hildegard found her way from a life of submission to a calling that celebrated the divine glories all around us. In this brilliantly researched and insightful novel, Mary Sharratt offers a deeply moving portrait of a woman willing to risk everything for what she believed, a triumphant exploration of the life she might well have lived. "Gripping . . . Like Ann Patchett's Bel Canto, Illuminations] is primarily about relationships forged under pressure." --Publishers Weekly "Masterful."--Saint Paul Pioneer PressBinding Type: Paperback

A great set, well written would make a great gift too
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
These are really cute! It is a great way for a child to learn English OR Spanish. The way it is written and flows it could be used either way. The illustrations are very nice. My 4 year old daughter had me read all 3 twice in a row. At the end of each story they break down the pronunciations which was super helpful as well! No complaints and a good purchase.

Great set of 3 books for my entry-level Spanish learning kids who are 5 & 7.
The book of opposites is their favorite with a cute storyline. Everyone loves twins and piñatas!
They also love to repeat the instrument names in Spanish. la guitarra 🎸 el microfono 🎤

Bilingual Books that cultivate cultural connections
Format: Board book
We absolutely LOVE the Si Sabo Kids collection. My son is obsessed with Street Vendors and I fear that without this exposure through books, he wouldn’t be exposed or know of the thrill of chasing down a paletero or buying flores fr your local flower cart.
With this new collection of La Plaza we were just as excited to flip through the pages!
What I love most is how the author’s honor Spanish and English in their text, but the exposure is to Spanish print first! This is very unique and purposeful for our younger generations.
You will not be disappointed. My little guy has me read these daily!

Amazing Bilingual Books for Kiddos!
Format: Board book
We are obsessed with the Si Sabo Kids books! We got the first set of Street Vendors and now this is such a great addition. Our daughter loves these and reads them over and over. My husband is a spanish speaker but I am not, so this has been a great way to pass down spanish to our daughter regardless of whether you speak spanish or not. Plus, the case the books come in are so cute and stylish sitting on our bookshelf. Really makes a great present because it's a great set!
