BOOKS IN ORIGINAL LANGUAGES or TRANSLATED FROM ENGLISH
Storytelling is a human condition (and it is certainly used by non-human species, but translation is waiting on that). Literature is a world-wide manifestation of the condition. I think it is important to pay attention to what language is the home for the storytelling. Not only does Whistlestop carry hundreds of translations of world literature, but where we can we carry the originals, sometimes in dual-language format. For fun we also carry a few titles of contemporary books back-translated into Latin. Try it — you will amazed at how much your brain is fired up when you read a different language!

Un dia de nieve [A Snowy Day in Spanish]
Traducción en español del cuento clásico ganador de la Medalla Caldecott, Un día de nieve.
Es un día de nieve y Pedro sale a explorar. Mientras pasea entre montones de nieve apilada y observa a los niños grandes jugar a tirarse bolas gigantes–descubre los surcos que dejan sus pies en la nieve espesa y lo divertido que es hacer figuras de ángeles en la nieve.
