Nelly is very excited about going back to school! She's bilingual and during this school year, she's going to learn how to read and write in her home language as well. Ms. Josie Journey, the Dutch language teacher, welcomes the children with a fun activity. Their first lesson in Dutch is all about practicing saying what they love!
After reading this book, children will:
✓Be prompted to fill in their own box with all that they love
✓Be encouraged to be creative and use their imagination
✓Be motivated to learn another language
Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said that creativity is intelligence having fun, and that imagination is more important than knowledge. Creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation. Did you know those creative young children who use their imagination are more effective, resourceful, resilient, and confident than their peers? Creative children are also better equipped to overcome obstacles and navigate changes in life.
This book makes the perfect gift for creative little boys and girls, teachers, librarians, and parents who raise bilingual and multilingual kids. Perfect for all children ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and up, depending on their fluency level in the target language. Most suitable for grade 1, grade, 2, grade 3, and parents and language teachers who appreciate a well-written and beautifully illustrated bilingual book. The use of large fonts and the choice of a white background for the text make it ideal for early readers.
