Parents of all languages can relate to the latest designs offered by Los Pollitos Dicen (The Little Chicks Say), a Tennessee-based boutique bilingual T-shirt line for children. Los Pollitos Dicen captures the culture using sweet and funny colloquialisms embraced by Latinos to describe their babies.
There's Despertador, Spanish for "alarm clock," showcasing a sweet, baby chick awake in its nest and Ni Un Pío, Spanish for "not a peep'' and depicted by a trio of happy toddler-inspired chicks posing as "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil.'' Each package includes a card with lyrics to the lullaby, Los Pollitos Dicen, a traditional Spanish lullaby sung to generations of babies all over Latin America.
We are inspired by our families, our traditions, the diverse country we call home", says Carrie Ferguson Weir, Los Pollitos Dicen co-founder, "and by the moms, dads and abuelitas who thank us for celebrating and promoting their history and culture.''
The new designs, available for Christmas 2007, join the popular line-up of Candela (Spitfire); Gordito (Chubalicious); Fo (P-U Stinky) and Pío Pío Pío (Peep Peep Peep), amongst others. These adorable onesies and tees, sizes newborn to 4T, are cleverly packaged in wooden egg-shaped gift boxes which retail for $18 - $24. Los Pollitos make a fabulous baby shower gift.
Los Pollitos Dicen hatched in 2005 and has quickly become the premier line of Spanish-language boutique tee lines for children. The popular bilingual gift line has been featured in national media, from the Arizona Republic to Working Mother magazine, and this year was chosen by Target.com to represent the finest in gifts for Hispanic Heritage Month.
Los Pollitos Dicen designs are available lospollitosdicen.biz, Target.com and select boutiques across the country.
