Nico Can Try New Foods! - ¡Nico Puede Probar Comidas Nuevas!: A No-Pressure Bilingual English-Spanish Picture Book for Picky Eaters, Toddlers & Presch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185977521)

Nico knows the foods on his plate: frijoles, rice, and a warm tortilla. Then he spots one new thing - a little broccoli tree. He isn't ready. His shoulders tighten. His mouth stays closed.

But Abuela doesn't pressure him. First, they meet it. Nico looks, smells, touches, waits, and finally tries one tiny bite when he is ready.

Nico Can Try New Foods! is a warm bilingual English-Spanish picture book about picky eaters, cautious little eaters, and no-pressure mealtimes. It helps children see that trying something new can happen slowly, safely, and with love.

Cuando Nico encuentra un arbolito de brócoli en su plato, todavía no está listo. Abuela no lo apura. Primero lo miran, lo huelen y lo tocan. Con paciencia y cariño, Nico descubre que probar algo nuevo puede pasar poquito a poquito.
