New Children’s Book Hits Young Readers’ Sweet Spot
Author Marisol Rodriguez offers a bilingual story for chocolate-lovers
CLIFTON, N.J. –American cartoonist Charles Schulz, who brought the beloved comic strip Peanuts to readers for roughly 50 years, once said, “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” Offering young readers and chocolate-lovers a fun treat, Marisol Rodriguez presents her new bilingual – Spanish and English – children’s book The Princess and the Chocolate Castle
Princess Nayaleena lives in a far away kingdom. Her castle is entirely made of chocolate, surrounded by a chocolate milk moat. The bed she sleeps in is chocolate, and she even has a chocolate doll to play with. She absolutely loves chocolate, and it makes her happy. But the princess becomes sad because she doesn’t have anyone to share her chocolate with.
Rodriguez puts an interesting spin on her story by bringing readers into the story. Rather than finding a new character to enjoy her chocolate with, Princess Nayaleena asks readers if they would like to be her friend and have some chocolate.
