Kileeye, Kileeye! Birdie, Birdie! A bilingual story poem In English and Malayalam
By: Gita George-Hatcher
Kileeye, Kileeye! is a silly rhyme that the author made up to recite to one of her grandchildren. It was soon a favorite with all the grandchildren who wanted to hear the poem repeatedly until they started reciting it on their own! It quickly became apparent to the author that children's natural love of interesting rhymes and rhythms could be effective in teaching any language to young children as well as to adults, and thus the idea for making Kileeye, Kileeye! into a book was born!
About the Author
Gita George-Hatcher was brought up in India, her mother tongue being Malayalam, the language spoken in Kerala, a state in south-west India. She emigrated to the United States where she completed her advanced education in Public Administration and worked in Human Services and Government, in the fields of Human Resources, Labor Relations, and Civil Service. Gita is a fluent speaker of Malayalam, and taught herself to read and write Malayalam as an adult. She observed that in America and other lands to which Malayalis emigrated, the first and second generations of children born to Malayali parents were rapidly losing the language of their ancestors. Gita's own love for her native language and her desire to spark an interest in Malayalam among children of the Malayali diaspora led her to writing simple books in Malayalam, transliterated Malayalam and English. Her first book, My First Holy Qurbono Words for Children, was published in 2020.

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
