Mimi isn’t your ordinary cat, she’s a dreamer, a map-maker, and a master of meows!
Join Mimi and her human best friend, Flora, as they set off on an unforgettable journey south of the border. Guided by their magical map (and their new friend Diego!), they explore bustling Mexican markets, climb ancient Mayan ruins, and discover how cats “meow” in different languages.
Kids learn Spanish words naturally through story context, plus a special Map of Meows shows how cats “speak” around the world.
From tacos to temples, children experience the color, flavor, and wonder of Mexico.
Themes of courage, curiosity, and connection help foster empathy and resilience.
Perfect for bilingual classrooms, world culture units, or geography lessons
