Nelly is very excited about going back to school! She's bilingual, and during this school year, she will learn how to read and write in her home language as well. Ms. Josie Journey, the Pashto language teacher, welcomes the children with a fun activity. Their first lesson in Pashto is all about practicing saying what they love!

After reading this book, children will:
✓Be prompted to fill in their 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 as saying 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 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 life changes.

This book is the perfect gift for creative little boys and girls, teachers, librarians, and parents raising 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. It is most suitable for grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3, as well as for parents and language teachers who appreciate a well-written and beautifully illustrated bilingual book. The use of large fonts and a white background for the text make it ideal for early readers.
