Our Book
Our book is a collection of bilingual short stories, easy to read, and transcreated (not translated). We understand that languages sometimes have similarities but also, big differences in the way they are constructed. Our team makes sure that the stories are adapted between languages maintaining the style, intent, tone, and context. This will facilitate the reader to compare vocabulary and structure among languages.
Our beautiful illustrations and charming characters engage the young reader in a fun and creative bilingual reading experience!
