I WANT TO BE BILINGUAL! is the perfect book for parents--especially new parents and parents of younger kids--who dream of raising bilingual or multilingual children. Written by Adam Beck, author of the popular guide Maximize Your Child's Bilingual Ability, this playful book is a unique "picture book for adults" with delightful illustrations by Pavel Goldaev. Narrated by a lively baby, the book emphasizes the most important information parents need for realizing joyful success on a bilingual or multilingual journey. I WANT TO BE BILINGUAL! is an appealing and empowering book for language-loving families everywhere.
Early reviews from parents give the book glowing praise…
“I loved it!! This precious little book contains all the basic information you need to get started with your kids’ bilingualism. It faces the themes in a funny, entertaining way, as it’s actually the baby speaking! Since I read it, I keep it on my night table to have a look at it every time I feel my determination falter. Even though it’s a book for adults, it looks like a book for children, and kids love its funny drawings!”
“Perfect for expectant or new parents hoping to raise their child in a bilingual (or multilingual) environment! Adam Beck’s characteristic playful style comes through beautifully in this book, aimed at new parents. In this book, we see the benefits of growing up bilingual – from the baby’s point of view. Pavel Goldaev’s illustrations fit perfectly with Adam’s text. This is an ideal gift for expectant or new parents who hope to raise their child bilingually or multilingually. It can even be a fun, helpful reminder for those of us further along in our bilingual parenting journey, if we forget why we’re doing this.”
“I WANT TO BE BILINGUAL! is a picture book for adults, written from the perspective of a baby that wants to be able to speak all the languages the parents speak. The baby tells about the emotional, cognitive, social, and economic benefits of growing up bilingual, and guides the parents through the first phases of biliteracy. Adam Beck gives hands on advice in a fun and joyful way, which, together with the wonderful illustrations by Pavel Goldaev will surely empower many parents to embark on this exciting journey of raising a bilingual or multilingual child successfully. I WANT TO BE BILINGUAL! is a perfect gift for expectant or new parents!”
“When I was looking at this book my kids automatically came to me and asked what book it was because the illustrations were so cute and relatable to them. Then they went: ‘Read it to me, Mommy!’ If you are a new bilingual parent and don’t know where to start, this can be a cute summary for you. You can also read/narrate this book to your kids to boost their confidence in their bilingualism from an early age.”
