SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Blue Balloon Books is proud to announce the publication of I Lend You My Wings / Te Presto Mis Alas, a new bilingual children’s book by Lucia Torres, publishing on November 3, 2026.
The book follows David, who injures his leg and faces a difficult recovery and the possibility that he may not be able to walk at his graduation. Discouraged and uncertain, he finds hope in an unexpected new friend: Joseph, a young bee with an injured wing.
Although David and Joseph face different challenges, they both understand what it feels like to be hurt and unable to do the things they once could. As their friendship grows, they encourage each other through their recoveries and discover that supporting others can make you stronger too.
Told in both English and Spanish, I Lend You My Wings / Te Presto Mis Alas is a heartfelt story about friendship, resilience, compassion, and the power of helping others even when we are facing difficulties of our own.
The bilingual format makes the story accessible to English- and Spanish-speaking families while providing an opportunity for children to experience the same message across two languages. Torres hopes the book will resonate across cultures and encourage families to talk about the importance of empathy and supporting one another through adversity.
This book is ideal for bilingual families, classrooms, libraries, Spanish-language programs, and parents and educators looking for stories that encourage kindness, perseverance, friendship, and empathy.
