Hijos de la Esperanza es el primero de una serie de libros en dos idiomas de SHP.
Los libros se han pensado para que sirvan de apoyo a estudiantes de inglés y español como lenguas extranjeras. Nuestro propósito es proporcionar a los estudiantes una gran variedad de géneros que se adapten a sus gustos e intereses y que conviertan el aprendizaje de un idioma en algo divertido. Readers' Favorite 5 star review:
The Children of Hope, written by Jenny Twist and translated by Alicia Pérez Alarza, is a short story told in both English and Spanish solely as a dual purpose assignment. The realities told in this moving mini-saga are heart-wrenching. The narrative is tightly woven and easy to read. The Children of Hope is an excellent addition to school, church, and public libraries. Jenny Twist masterfully tells the story with grace and understanding on a subject often considered taboo.
