Alienum phaedrum torquatos nec eu, vis detraxit periculis ex, nihil expetendis in mei. Mei an pericula euripidis, hinc partem.

Bilingual books are in high demand from parents, teachers and librarians, but it’s not often that one sees a English/Indonesian book much less one with such a timely topic.

“What Can We Do with Garbage?” was written by author Visi Asriningtyas and Visi is keen to write about environmental science – engineering related subjects, mostly for children to help them live in a more environmentally safe world for their everyday life. She was born in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1975.

Yet another awesome book from D. G. Driver…

D.G. Driver

That truly was my first thought when I finished the final page of Whisper of the Woods and sat for a moment with my thoughts whirling. I connected with D.G. several years ago during the very first Multicultural Children’s Book Day. From the start, Cry of the Sea intrigued me and once I settled in to read it, it hook from from beginning to end.

Libraries play an important role in everyone’s life. The library is a place where knowledge and the love of reading shine!  However, budgets for school programs are being cut, and school libraries have been heavily affected. Hours for library time have been shortened in some schools, and even non-existent in others.

Books are one of life’s greatest luxuries.  While some bemoan the reading requirement in school these days, it should be noted that reading was restricted to the very wealthy and privileged until fairly recently.  Since the invention of printing presses, but especially since the Industrial Revolution and mandate of elementary school education, literacy has increased dramatically.

Muslims worldwide fasts during this month to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to prothet Muhammad (peace be upon him). At the end of month long fasts, Muslims celebrate the Eid holiday. Ramadan and Eid is a blessed time of year for observing Muslims worldwide. It’s a time to decorate and spend time with family.
