Book Review of "The Golden Seahorse"

The Golden Seahorse is a mythical character that helps a little girl faces her fears to swim. A girl named Camila was afraid of the ocean because she didn’t know how to swim, but her mother told her not to be afraid because in the ocean there was a golden seahorse that would rescue her.

It is a bilingual book (English-Spanish) with coloring pages with vivid images to illustrate this sweet children's book tale. I definitely recommend this book for preschoolers to first grade students.

The Author, Camelia Kuhn is a kindergarten teacher based in Florida.   He was born in Hartford, Connecticut and grew up in Puerto Rico. From an early age, she found a love for reading through her loving mother who told her children's stories that inspired her to write this tale.  


El caballito de mar dorado es un personaje mítico que ayuda a una niña a enfrentar sus miedos para nadar. Una niña llamada Camila tenía miedo al océano porque no sabía nadar, pero su mamá le dijo que no tuviera miedo porque en el océano había un caballito de mar dorado que la rescataría.

Es un libro bilingüe (inglés-español) con páginas para colorear con imágenes vívidas para ilustrar este dulce cuento infantil. Definitivamente recomiendo este libro para niños en edad preescolar a estudiantes de primer grado.

La autora, Camelia Kuhn, es maestra de kínder y está radicada en la Florida.   Nació en Hartford, Connecticut y creció en Puerto Rico. Desde temprana edad, encontró el amor por la lectura a través de su amorosa madre quien le contaba historias infantiles que la inspiraron a escribir este cuento.

I’m reviewing this book as part of Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/23) in its 10th Year Anniversary. This non-profit children’s literacy initiative was founded by Valarie Budayr and Mia Wenjen; two diverse book-loving moms who saw a need to shine the spotlight on all of the multicultural books and authors on the market while also working to get those books into the hands of young readers and educators.
