English→Spanish Children's Book Translator (Rhyme & Cultural Adaptation Specialist)

We're seeking a creative Spanish translator to adapt an English children's book (ages 4-8) for Latin American audiences. Your translation must preserve rhymes, cultural relevance, and educational value while sounding natural to native speakers. Key Responsibilities: ✔ Rhyme & Meter Preservation: Reconstruct poems/songs without losing meaning (e.g., "The moon shines bright on this starry night" → "La luna brilla en esta hermosa noche estrellada"). Maintain syllable patterns for read-aloud flow. ✔ Cultural Localization: Adapt references (e.g., "sandwich" → "arepa" where appropriate). Ensure names/idioms resonate with Latin American kids. ✔ Educational Integrity: Translate learning concepts accurately (e.g., "counting ladybugs" → "contar mariquitas"). Preserve moral lessons (sharing, kindness). Requirements: Native Spanish (Latin American variant) + fluent English.
