Carlota no dice ni po

"A lovely addition to Spanish picture book collection that provides a good introduction to conversations about speacking up". – School Library Journal

Carlota could be shy or could also be interpreted as struggling with selective mutism. Either way, this could be a powerful story for those looking to (literally) find their voices. The book, with its breaking of the 4th wall, would be fun as a read aloud and its themes could inspire discussion and text-to-real-life connections. – Youth Services Book Review

Selected as Especially Notable New Title for Spring 2016 – Booklist
 A thought-provoking exploration of fear, shyness, and the power of communication and connection. – Booklist
 A tale gently told of finding our inner strengths....The whimsical, tongue-in-cheek narration asks readers questions . . . and adds little asides . . . making readers feel the story is being told just to them. – Kirkus Reviews
"What if a child doesn’t need to talk? A funny story about shyness and how to overcome it….All of [NubeOcho’s] books promote respectful attitude towards all types of diversity. They are also a playful medium that makes it easier to engage in first experiences and feelings that the little ones may not easily understand. I like that that books offer underliying themes or teachable ideas, especially for little kids that sometimes have a hard time expressing themselves and their feelings." – The Review Wire
