Green Is a Chile Pepper
An energetic and colorful book that teaches Latino culture and the Spanish language.
Green Is a Chile Pepper is a delightful short book of rhyming poetry that teaches Latino culture and the Spanish language to very young readers through color comparison.
“Red is a ristra, red is a spice, red is a salsa on top of rice.” As a kid, I was hungry for more information about global customs and would have loved to have read any number of author Roseanne Greenfield Thong’s titles, which include Round Is Tortilla and Red Is a Dragon.
Illustrator John Parra’s energetic, textural style is reminiscent of colorful street murals and complements Green Is a Chile Pepper’s celebratory attitude perfectly!
