From first thing in the morning until he goes to sleep, Quinito is off and running fast or slow, depending on the day. If it;s sunny, he;s off to the park to swing high and low. If it rains, it's time to stay home and be quiet at naptime and loud at playtime. There's so much to do before the sun sets.

Ina Cumpiano teams up with Jose Ramirez once more to show young readers that everywhere they look, opposites abound. Quinito, Day and Night is a delight for readers young or old, tall or short, messy or neat .

Vienna Rose Listen to Vienna Rose read Quinito Day and Night to you. A marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we wish for all children.

"Full of images and words that will engage preschoolers, and brief enough to be read in both languages at storytime, this works on multiple levels as a book of opposites, as an exposition of bilingual vocabulary (including a glossary at the end), and as a portrayal of a kind of family and neighborhood that is still hard to find, done this well, in picture books. —Horn Book Starred Review

“Ramirez’s deep-hued oil-on-canvas primitive artwork has a childlike directness combined with a near flawless sense of composition and weighting. His paintings are a pleasure to look at—and warrant repeated perusal. Young listeners will be drawn in by the charm of the confident young narrator and the complementary illustrations. An excellent introduction or reinforcement of the concept of opposites, this is also just a good family story.” —Críticas Magazine Starred Review

“Bold, bright double-page gouaches on textured canvas illustrate this cocoa-skinned Latino family inside and outside their home playing, working, reading, eating and finally retiring after a typical day. A dual text of English above an equally matched Spanish version will have preschoolers relating to the familiarity of Quinito's day and night activities, while children in a bilingual environment will appreciate the opposing features of each in two familiar languages.” —Kirkus Reviews
