Adrienne Ségur is at the center of Art Passions because my lifelong love of fairy tales began with the illustrations to The Fairy Tale Book by Adrienne Segur. It has been republished as The Golden Book of Fairy Tales. If you know the original book, you will find that the colors are close, but not an exact match. The Fairy Tale Book images here are come from my own copy that I have kept since I was a girl.

Spanish fairy tales give children confidence, as they listen to the story many times. They become familiar with the characters, settings, and plot. Also, they associate language learning with fun moments. Grammatical understanding and vocabulary expansion are by-products of this experience.
Spanish fairy tales are especially excellent for teaching children how to listen, read, and talk in Spanish. The poetic cadence and descriptive language of fairy tales make them enjoyable to listen to and follow if they are spoken orally. Thank you for this amazing blog!
