Welcome to Discovering Español! Start here!

I’m Frances Díaz Evans, M.Ed., a Puerto Rican author, educator, and bilingual mama. This blog exists for one reason: to help parents, caregivers, teachers, and educators raise culturally grounded, bilingual children who are proud of who they are in and out of the classroom.  Whether you just found me or you’ve been here a while, this page will point you to exactly what you need.

Are you a parent raising a bilingual child?

You’re in the right place. I’ve been on this journey with my own son, and I know it’s not always easy,  especially when you’re doing it without a bilingual school, without summers abroad, and without a community that looks like yours.

Are you a Spanish teacher or educator?

I create no-prep, culturally rich resources for classrooms at every level,  from preschool through middle school. You’ll find printables, book lists, activities, and more.

Are you looking for diverse, multicultural and/or Spanish-language books? 

I’ve been reviewing books since I started blogging in 2012, and mostly I was looking for books for my then 4-year-old. Now I review books to use in my classes and share on my blog.
