TÍO RICKY

Knock, knock! Tío Ricky is in town and he needs his nephew Enrique’s help!

He doesn’t speak any English, so his nephew has to translate for him at the store, the post office, and the bank. But speaking Spanish feels like such a chore...until Enrique finds himself in a situation where his bilingual skills become life-saving.

Enrique soon discovers that speaking two languages isn’t just helpful—it’s powerful. It can strengthen family ties in ways he never imagined. It’s a heartwarming story in English and Spanish that shows you don’t need a cape to be a hero!
