Spanish Children's Stories


If you're looking for ways to expand early literacy services for Spanish-speaking families in your community, LibraryCall can help.

Our Spanish-language audio stories provide culturally authentic content that families can enjoy anytime, anywhere, helping you extend the reach of your resources. All of our Spanish-language stories are created in collaboration with native speakers, writers, translators, and narrators to ensure cultural authenticity and engaging storytelling. Our Spanish collection recently reached a milestone: 75 stories and counting, including:
br> Traditional tales like El niño que gritó lobo (The Boy Who Cried Wolf)
Classic favorites like El Ratón Pérez by Luis Coloma, the beloved tooth-fairy mouse known across Spanish-speaking countries
Original stories like El regalo de Ana by Lorena Romero, a story celebrating Children's Day in México.
Three children's book covers displayed side by side on a light background. From left to right: “El niño que gritó lobo” showing a smiling boy with a wolf behind him; “El Ratón Pérez” featuring a small mouse holding a tooth against a night city backdrop; and “El regalo de Ana” depicting a colorful doll with braids and traditional-style clothing.

Combining Latin rhythms with elements of rock, salsa, jazz, and cumbia to create their original sound, they have released seven albums, including the anthology CD titled XX to celebrate their 20 years together as a band in 2014. They have received numerous New Mexico Music (“MIC”) Awards, including Album of the Year and Producer of the Year for their third, self-titled album, Nosotros, and have appeared with artists including Ozomatli, Los Lobos, Etta James, The Wailers, and the Gipsy Kings. M.E. Schenck, in Hyperactive Music Magazine, said, “Nosotros’ music is not to be explained, it is to be felt in the pit of our souls.”
