Simple and sweet book. Lovely to hear my children repeat Turkish words. They love this book and is helping them learn another language

great illustrations and a great way to teach relativity. besides, it is great to see the both languages consecutively in order to teach some basic words to my LO.

Ama Türkçem çok iyi değil:) This book is fun for a new learner like myself. The layout makes it easy to learn/practice vocabulary

Excellent book! Very cool girl character, interesting animals in a beautiful strange world! They are recognizable though and my daughter points to them each time. The story is about the size of our girl character and how it is relatively small with respect to some creatures and objects (like the moon) and how it is relatively small with respect to some other creatures at the same time. The point of the story is different of course but I like it because it is also a very early introduction to the concept of relativity! It is easy to read, I change it a little bit here and there but still works like a charm each time we read it! Very highly recommended to all those bilingual monkeys out there!!
