On each spread of this delightful board book, vibrant illustrations of faces, animals, toys, and more gaze back at the reader.
Labels give the Spanish and English words for what we see--colors, shapes, eyes, ears, nose, hair--and there are more connections to find in every illustration pair.
Words and images are chosen to include the unexpected and imaginative alongside the obvious, making this more than just a first-words book. This is a bilingual book for adult reader and child to learn and explore together--to ask questions, point, and talk--or to enjoy quietly alone

As a librarian and homeschool mom, I'm always on the hunt for innovative, inclusive learning materials that engage young minds. "Miro / I Look" absolutely fits the bill, delivering a masterful blend of bilingual vocabulary development and visual literacy in a way that feels effortless.
The consistent structure of portrait illustrations of a wide variety of people on the left page paired with a variety of objects on the right creates a predictable rhythm that supports language development. The diversity of human features and expressions demonstrates an invaluable lesson about humanity's fundamental similarities. I love how the book subtly weaves in that profound message without making it feel heavy-handed.
Beyond the educational merits, the illustrations in "Miro / I Look" are simply stunning - vibrant, thoughtful, and packed with details that invite closer observation. The durable, child-friendly format makes it perfect for independent exploration or guided learning sessions in the classroom or at home.
As both a mom and a former teacher, I cannot recommend this book enough. It's the kind of resource that sparks curiosity, celebrates diversity, and lays the groundwork for lifelong learning. If you're looking to diversify your young reader's library or bolster your bilingual collection, "Miro / I Look" is an absolute must-have.
