We’re huge fans of illustrator and author Jorge Bettancourt Polanco — his bright abnd whimsical illustrations grace not only Stephens Press titles like Dreamygirl (which he also wrote) and Granny McFanny, but also local art gallery walls. The Read to Me program recently selected Jorge to read Dreamygirl to kids in Spanish. Go to www.readtomelv.com to watch — and while there, you and your kids can watch other celebrities read some great stories. Read to Me also offers teacher/parent lesson plans to download for each book. These plans offer fun and educational activies related to each book. Dreamygirl’s lesson plan can also be downloaded here
