Rafi and Rosi

Written by Lulu Delacre
Illustrated by Lulu Delacre
Published by Lee & Low Books

Two Puerto Rican tree frog siblings learn about science and social studies topics during their adventures on their island home.

In Rafi and Rosi, 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?

Look for the Spanish version, Rafi y Rosi.
