Title: MY FIRST BILINGUAL DICTIONARY OF SENTENCES
When children start learning how to make phrases, they may also do it in two languages at the same time. This dictionary is meant to help young children learn not only the basic vocabulary but also how to use the words within a phrase or a context in two different languages. Grouped by subjects, the terms appear in everyday situations and in full color illustrations to make their understanding easier.
This dictionary is a valuable aid for school and a permanent guide at home. It is a unique material from the point of view of education, as it manages to approach the vocabulary, reading, writing and comprehension of the words in two languages.

Series: TALKING ABOUT
Through the process of International Adoption, many children, like Mikhail and his sister, are being adopted from many places all around the world. When Mikhail finally arrives home with his new parents from Russia, his big sister can’t wait to meet him. After finally meeting her new baby brother for the first time, she notices that his hair and eyes are the same color as her own and that to her is very special! Being a big sister is a big responsibility and Mikhail’s big sister is very excited about her new job! She can’t wait to teach Mikhail all the things her Mom and Dad taught her about Russian culture and especially about being a family.

Mikhail’s sister knows that when he gets bigger, Mom and Dad will explain to him about being adopted just like they explained it to her. And one thing she knows for sure is that “it doesn’t matter that me and Mikhail have different Birth Mothers ‘cause he’s still my brother and I’m still his sister and Mom and Dad are our parents. We’re a family, no matter what!” This eloquently and sensitively written story introduces the concept of International Adoption, for all children to understand. Talking about adoption doesn’t have to be so hard!

It was the last game of the season. The championship game! Everybody wanted to win, especially me! Just like always, Coach reminded the team about the importance of being good sports and playing fair. As usual, the team agreed ‘cause we all knew the game wouldn’t be any fun if we cheated. But when the game was tied at two with five minutes left to play and the crowd was standing up and cheering; everything started to change. We stopped having fun.
It’s okay to want to win and it’s okay to try your best to win too! But how you go about trying to win is what matters the most. Being a good sport is important for all of us; whether we’re playing the game or cheering in the stands; we all need to be good sports.
