Camarillo, California Jun 9, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Family, Flavor, and Tradition Shine in “Where Nopalitos Grow” — A Bilingual Book with a Heartfelt Story and Bonus Recipe on My Website Plus Other Fun Downloads
Since its debut in 2023, Where Nopalitos Grow has become more than just a bilingual children’s book — it’s a celebration of Latino family traditions, culture, and the special bonds that connect generations. Written by author Irma Linda Hersel, this warmly illustrated story follows a young boy’s journey to discover his heritage through the loving relationship he shares with his abuelita and the iconic nopal cactus.
The book is praised for its engaging storytelling and beautiful Spanish-English text that invites children and families to experience language and culture together. Beyond the story, readers can visit the author’s website to find a bonus recipe plus other fun downloads — including a delicious cactus salad (nopalitos) recipe that brings a true taste of the story into their own kitchens.
“I wanted to create a story that honors our traditions and helps young readers feel seen and valued,” says Hersel. “Sharing the recipe and downloads online extends that connection, making it fun and easy for families to explore cultural flavors and activities side by side with the book.”
In addition to the recipe, the website offers downloadable activity pages, coloring sheets, word games, and bookmarks to deepen children’s engagement with the story and its themes. Where Nopalitos Grow is available on Amazon, Target, Walmart, and other retailers, continuing to inspire readers and families nationwide.
