Description

Young readers will enjoy the adventures of these curious siblings and will relate to their special bond as brother and sister. An added plus is that books are available in both Spanish and English.

Rafi amazes Rosi with the magic he finds everywhere. He can move sand with his magic fingers. He can shoot stars from the sky. He can even find the smallest tree in the forest. Then one day Rafi’s pet hermit crab runs away. Now it’s Rosi’s turn to show that she knows where to look for magic too. Can she find the crab in time for them to watch it shed its shell?

Reviews

  • "Delacre closes each episode on a note of harmony, and casts her sibs as clothed coquis (small frogs) who, despite some teasing, plainly think the world of each other. . . . Sweet. "

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • "The teasing banter and tender rapport between the siblings are the most appealing features of these stories. Delacre's brightly colored cartoon illustrations add detail and a light touch. "
