Rabbit Writer Books Receives Prestigious Award for Best Spanish and English Bilingual Children’s Books in the United States
Vail Kristina Smerlinder Suarez’s Rabbit Writer Books has been named the Best Spanish and English Bilingual Children’s Books in the United States for 2025. The award honors their dedication to bilingual literacy and cultural education.
Mexico, 18th Dec 2025 – For Vail Kristina Smerlinder Suarez, teaching isn’t just about grammar or vocabulary, it’s about blending language with culture in a way that deeply resonates with students. As a bilingual educator with over 20 years of experience, she has always believed that learning a language should be meaningful and enjoyable. This philosophy lies at the heart of her work as both an author and illustrator, where her books bring Mexican traditions to life while teaching English and Spanish.
Vail’s journey into bilingual education and children’s literature began with a passion for languages and a childhood dream of becoming an author. After moving to Mexico in 1998, she found not just a new home but also her calling. By merging her talents as a teacher and illustrator, Vail created Rabbit Writer Books, an innovative series of bilingual children’s books designed to make learning both languages and culture an exciting adventure.
“I’ve always believed that understanding a language is more than memorizing rules,” says Vail. “It’s about immersing yourself in the culture, feeling the rhythm and heartbeat of it. That’s what I aim to do with my books.”
The Power of Language and Culture
In Vail’s classrooms and through her books, language comes alive with engaging stories that incorporate games, conversations, and cultural exploration. Vail recognizes that language is a bridge, and understanding the culture behind the words strengthens that connection.
Rabbit Writer Books takes this approach to new heights by creating a fun way for children to learn both English and Spanish while experiencing Mexican culture. The series introduces young readers to cultural traditions, folklore, and everyday life, all woven into rhyming stories that are easy to follow and captivating. Each tale is designed not only to teach language but also to ignite a passion for learning.
One such example is The Perez-Fairies, which tells the same story from two perspectives: The Perez-Fairies as told by Pedro Pérez and The Perez-Fairies as told by Fae Fairies. This format gives readers a unique insight into both American and Mexican cultural traditions. Other titles like TACOS A to Z de la A a la Z and a heartwarming Day of the Dead story highlight the rich cultural heritage that defines Vail’s work.
“Language learning isn’t just about the words, it’s about understanding the world that the language comes from,” says Vail. “I want my books to be a gateway into that world.”

Expanding the Language Learning Experience

Looking ahead, Vail plans to release a series of bilingual language-learning books in 2026, which will focus on conversational lessons, cultural insights, and interactive games. She is also working on her first novel, Messages to Mictlan, a coming-of-age story set in modern Mexico that explores Mexican traditions through the life of a 15-year-old girl.
In addition to her literary work, Vail is a federally accredited tour guide in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and runs the Taste of San Miguel Food Tours, where she offers several culturally rich tours, including the original Downtown Tour and Tacos & Tequilas. Vail also operates Turisteando en Familia, a family-friendly tour company that blends bilingual education with fun, cultural experiences.
Sharing Passion with the World
For Vail, sharing her love of language and culture is incredibly fulfilling. “The best part of being an author is knowing my books are helping kids not only learn a new language but also understand and appreciate another culture,” she says. “I get to bring these stories to life in a way that both entertains and educates. That’s what makes it so rewarding.”
As Vail continues to expand her collection of bilingual books, she remains focused on making language learning enjoyable and enriching. Whether through her books or the new products from her Bilingual Bodega line, her goal is clear: to help others embrace the beauty of bilingualism and the cultures that come with it.
