Two Bilingual stories for young children in one book!
Begin with Sala’s Surprise where Sala wakes in the morning and gets dressed for school. What she dresses in will give her family a surprise.
As Sala dresses, the item of clothing is read in Samoan. It is clear what she is pulling on so the meaning of the Samoan word is clear for both English and Samoan readers.
Flip the book over and you’ll find – Kuso’s Clean.
Kuso always returns from school dirty. He gets in the bath and begins to wash his body. Each part of his body is given in Samoan – the illustrations show which part of his body is being washed.
In the centre of the book is a double page spread giving the Samoan Vocabulary and Meanings along with a correct pronunciation guide.
With fun, bright illustrations and clear, simple text, this 2-books-in-1 bilingual surprise is perfect for young learners of the Samoan language.
