Bilingual and bicultural books to foster the love of reading to children of all communities.
Libros bilingues y biculturales para fomentar el amor por la lectura para niños de todas las comunidades.
David Flores,
Owner / Author
As an educator and a father, David understood the need for more bilingual and bicultural books. Brownie Books was created once David and his wife Kaylyn became parents. Brownie Books comes from David's coaching nickname "Coach Brownie." He named himself Coach Brownie to easily break the ice with the little ones he coached. Who doesn't love brownies anyway?!
David grew up in El Salvador and migrated to Texas when he was 13 years old. He is a Southwestern Assemblies of God U. graduate and a Pre-K teacher in Waxahachie, TX. He coaches soccer to children as young as two years old and as old as 18 years old.
David and Kaylyn married in 2012 after meeting in college. They are a bilingual, biracial, and bicultural couple whose dream is to continue to foster the love they have for Texas and El Salvador to their daughters Aspen and Lincoln.

"Mis Chanclas and My Chones embraces biliteracy and the love of a multicultural family!"
"Our students loved having a real author, with fun props and engagement, come visit our elementary. Mr. Flores was funny, patient, and allowed the students to be part of the program. We are very pleased with the decision to invite Mr. Flores in, and we look forward to him coming back with new books and characters."
David Antonio Flores you were by far one of the best authors I have seen visit a school and I’ve been teaching for 22 years. Thank you so much!!!!
Teach your little one the proper way to shoot the soccer ball through David Flores' "Shooting the Ball!" and it's amazing illustrations. Tony has difficulties scoring goals in his soccer games. When his coach shows him the proper way to shoot the ball, he uses it against his neighbor, Mad Maddie. "Step and aim, show your laces, lock your ankle, strike the ball!" Goal! The back of the book contains a soccer game that you can implement with your players to practice shooting the ball while having fun! This book is a bilingual book (English, Spanish) with each language color-coded following common dual-language practices.
Tony tiene dificultades para anotar goles en sus partidos de fútbol. Cuando su entrenador le muestra la forma correcta de disparar la pelota, la usa contra su vecina, Mad Maddie. “¡Pisa y apunta, muestra tus cordones, flexiona tu tobillo, dispara la pelota!” ¡Gol! La parte posterior del libro contiene un juego de fútbol que puedes implementar con tus jugadores para practicar el tiro al balón mientras te diviertes. Este libro es un libro bilingüe (inglés, español) con cada idioma codificado por colores siguiendo las prácticas comunes de dos idiomas.
