\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A marvelous children\u2019s story about acceptance and the power of kindness\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santos explores racism, friendship, and kindness in this high-spirited caper that sees the polyglot siblings tackling bullies while on a family picnic. Dylan and Isabella are excited to join their Ukrainian and Brazilian grandparents for a family picnic in the park. But with a group of unwelcoming boys at the park and Kiki, Dylan\u2019s pet chicken, going missing, the picnic doesn\u2019t go as planned. The polyglot siblings\u2019 story shows that someone who can speak many languages is certainly special. But being able to be kind to others, including your enemies is equally important. Eszter <\/em>Mikl\u00f3s’s <\/em>brightly colored, engaging illustrations are pleasant to eyes and enliven the story. Young readers will smile in anticipation as the children follow Kiki\u2019s tracks, until it\u2019s found. Readers interested in other languages especially will appreciate the inclusion of Zulu and Mandarin along with Portuguese and Ukrainian words in the text. This lively tale not only invites audience participation but also boosts love of language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: This review is for the original, English version of the book, which is also available in several other languages, in both bilingual and monolingual editions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
