Spanish/English Bilingual Picture Book and Coloring Book

After recently completing the Spanish edition of Sally Book Bunny and the Search for the Lost Key (Sally Book Bunny y la búsqueda de la llave perdida), Tech Wizard Mike had the notion to create a Spanish-English bilingual edition and a coloring book edition 🤯

These were originally intended to be two separate books but then (after collaborating with illustrator Henry on the most economical way of creating the bilingual edition), the idea arose of combining the two.
