A big part of our site here is to introduce you to a variety of children’s books, so you can explore themes that you would like to read in your own minority language homeschool. You can be assured that we read every single book here in our home. Since we generally read in Portuguese, German, and English, you will find the reviews based on one language specifically. This is for example interesting if translations change character names, or if we share pictures of the books, or if we mention publisher information. While we try to always link back to all three languages, sometimes not all books are localised in all languages.
“The Bug Collector” - Alex G. Griffiths
When George visits the insect museum with his Grandad, his love for bug is unstoppable. As he sees the big collection in the museum, he wants to build his own - live - display of all the bugs he can find in the garden.
“The Blue Umbrella” - Emily Ann Davison, Momoko Abe
The little girl finds a small blue umbrella on her doorsteps, and takes it with her on the journey. When it starts raining, she only has eyes for all the other people getting wet, and the little girl tries to get them all underneath the little blue umbrella.
