Bye-Bye, tetita: La historia del destete natural de una niña

Portada del libro Bye-Bye, tetita. Una niña pequeña sonríe mientras gatea sobre una manta naranja, junto a un peluche de conejo, dos vasitos amarillos y varias mariposas monarca. El texto de la portada dice: “Una historia sobre el destete natural, de Jacqueline Cooper. Traducción al español de Vanesa Fusco.”


Bye-Bye, tetita: La historia del destete natural de una niña is now available from your favourite bookstores or ask for it at your local library today. 

This Spanish edition is part of the Little Goodbyes collection, a series of picture books about small but meaningful childhood transitions. Like the English edition, Bye-Bye, tetita is told from a child’s point of view and follows the emotional process of natural weaning.

The story is about a little girl who is growing, changing, and slowly saying goodbye to breastfeeding in her own time. It is a book about closeness, comfort, and the way love continues even as routines begin to change. From the back cover:

Bye-bye, tetita es una tierna historia sobre el destete, contada desde la perspectiva de una niña.

Desde los mimos antes de dormir hasta una fiesta con fuegos artificiales en el parque, la historia recorre momentos cotidianos con mamá, llenos de amor y contención. A medida que la niña crece, la lactancia da paso a abrazos, cuentos y risas, sostenidos por un amor que no tiene fin.

This edition was translated into Spanish by Vanesa Fusco, an experienced literary translator who has been translating stories from English into Spanish for more than twenty years. Her work includes narrative texts, graphic novels, poetry, children’s and young adult books, non-fiction, and K–12 instructional materials.

The Spanish edition is especially helpful for families, libraries, birth workers, lactation consultants, and anyone looking for a durable picture book that can be read again and again.

I’m so thrilled to have this story available in Spanish, so more families can find a book that reflects breastfeeding, weaning, and toddlerhood with warmth and respect.

Working with Scribus: A Free InDesign Alternative for Book Layouts

"In real open source, you have the right to control your own destiny." – Linus Torvalds When I first started preparing Bye-Bye, Boobies for IngramSpark's hardcover printing process, I quickly realized how many publishing programs come with a heavy price tag. Adobe InDesign is the most common desktop publishing software that comes up over and over, but the subscription alone can add up to hundreds of dollars a year. As an indie author, I needed another way. ISBNs in Canada (and Why I’m Using IngramSpark) That’s when I turned to Scribus . Scribus is a free, open-source book layout and typesetting program aka desktop publishing software. While the interface may not be flashy, it gives me the same control over trim size, margins, bleeds, and spine guides that paid software programs do. Once I got used to its quirks, it became a reliable part of my process. Tip: Keep all of the files that you are uploading into Scribus in one folder and save the finished file in that same fo...

ISBNs in Canada (and Why I’m Using IngramSpark)

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” — Leonard Cohen If you’re a Canadian author preparing to self-publish, you’ll quickly realise that some parts of the process look very different from what you’ll see in the US or UK. One of the biggest perks? ISBNs are free. In Canada, ISBNs are issued by Library and Archives Canada . You apply through their website, and once approved, you can request ISBNs as needed no bundles, no barcode upsells, and no cost. That’s very different from the US (where ISBNs must be purchased through Bowker) or the UK (through Nielsen). When researching how to publish, most of what comes up for me, especially in Google searches or YouTube videos, turned out to be very US-focused. You’ll see a lot of talk about “free” ISBNs from platforms like Amazon or Draft2Digital. But those ISBNs are platform-assigned which means: You don’t own them You can’t reuse them across platforms And often, the platform’s name is listed as the publishe...
