Translation Rights TQE / Valentina in New York

Valentina’s story/guide books narrate the adventures of a restless little girl in the most important cities throughout the world. Valentina is curious and asks a lot of questions to help her understand the world around her. For children, Valentina is unpredictable and brave, a character whose steps they will want to follow; the stories are full of fun, mystery, and unexpected adventures! For parents, the adventures of Valentina are a fun and easy way to learn about monuments, traditions, foods and even languages; they encourage the critical spirit and the desire to learn. For booksellers, these books are a triple product (three in one): an adventure book, a first travel guide, and a fun and didactic gift.
