Cirilo Explores Colombia!
Flavours & Rhythms Adventure
Take a journey with Cirilo as children explore the beauty of Colombia - its regions, rhythms, and flavours.
More than just a story—this is a musical and cultural experience. With vibrant illustrations and an original song, Cirilo guides your family through Colombia so children can learn about traditions, food, wildlife, and festivals.
If you’re raising your children outside your home country or want to introduce them to the beauty of our Spanish-speaking countries, this beautifully illustrated story is a loving bridge that keeps Spanish alive at home. It invites children to sing, repeat, and play as they explore regions, landscapes, and rhythms—and includes downloadable activities to keep learning as a family.
Why It's More Than a Book:
- Story with a song included: The story is sung, with rhyme and repetition to reinforce vocabulary.
- Living culture: Food, music, costumes, festivals, animals, and landscapes come alive.
- Spanish with purpose: Short phrases, slow pace, and highlighted key words support bilingual learning.
- Emotional connection: Identity, belonging, and pride in one’s roots.
- Extra activities: Colouring and downloadable activities extend this Colombian journey.

Johan Prieto - Parent
An incredible book that allows my 6-year-old daughter, Lucía, to learn three skills at the same time
She feels very proud to speak both Spanish and English, and this book helps her understand her favourite school subject in both languages. On top of that, the character, Cirilo, makes the experience even more special for her,i t’s like a treasure! We love this book and spend more than an hour each day not only learning but also sharing quality time together. The fact that it includes illustrations for colouring makes it even better.
Highly recommended!
