CELEBRATE BOOKS IN TRANSLATION with SCBWI and my book in Spanish, EL TERRIBLE HODAG

EL TERRIBLE HODAG, is one of the books featured on the SCBWI reading list for the month of September. Hurray! The theme is "Celebrate Books in Translation". 

In honor of #WorldKidLitMonth, an annual celebration of world literature for children and young adults, we are celebrating our PAL members who have translated books into English, or who have had their books translated into other languages. So get ready to read the world through kids' book in translation!

Click on the section labeled "Picture Books" and scroll down to find El Terrible Hodag (listed alphabetically.)

EL TERRIBLE HODAG (StarWalk Kids, 2018) was first published in English as THE TERRIBLE HODAG (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1989). It was translated to Spanish by Thomas Scheaffer. It is available as an ebook at Amazon.

Un leñador llamado Ole Swanson se hace amigo del terrible hodag. El hodag ayuda a Ole a echar al jefe del bosque.

With many thanks to all the translators who have made so many of my books available to children who speak other languages--Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and German. A list of those books is available at my website.
