Nelly is very excited about going back to school! She's bilingual and during this school year, she's going to learn how to read and write in her home language as well. Ms Josie Journey, the Finnish language teacher, welcomes the children with a fun activity. Their first lesson in Finnish is all about practising saying what they love!

Nelly on innoissaan kouluun palaamisesta! Hän on kaksikielinen, ja tämän lukuvuoden aikana hän oppii lukemaan ja kirjoittamaan myös kotikielellään. Neiti Josie Journey, suomen kielen opettaja, toivottaa lapset tervetulleiksi hauskan askareen merkeissä. Suomen kielen ensimmäisellä oppitunnilla lapset opettelevat kertomaan, mitä rakastavat!

After reading this book, children will:
✓Be prompted to fill in their box with all that they love
✓Be encouraged to be creative and use their imagination
✓Be motivated to learn another language

Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said that creativity is intelligence having fun, and that imagination is more important than knowledge. Creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation. Did you know those creative young children who use their imagination are more effective, resourceful, resilient, and confident than their peers? Creative children are also better equipped to overcome obstacles and navigate life changes.

This book makes the perfect gift for creative little boys and girls, teachers, librarians, and parents raising bilingual and multilingual kids. Perfect for all children ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and up, depending on their fluency level in the target language. Most suitable for grade 1, grade, 2, and grade 3, and parents and Finnish language teachers who appreciate a well-written and beautifully illustrated bilingual book. The use of large fonts and a white background make it ideal for early readers.

Nelly's Box is also available in several other bilingual editions. If you're reading this on amazon.de/.co.uk/.ca/.au/.it, etc, visit the .com link https: //www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7BC5HRJ/ and/or Goodreads for more reviews.
