The Afghan immigrant population in the United States has grown faster over the last decade than many others.  In fact, over 55,000 Afghan refugees arrived in 2021 alone and 44% of those refugees are children being housed temporarily at US military bases. With the focus on Afghanistan this year, we wanted to take a look at the languages that are spoken in the country, interesting facts, and bilingual resources for these new immigrants.

The Purple Shell by Maritza M. Mejia

LuzDelMes Ecotales invite you to be aware of how to take care of the planet. On her first trip to the sea, a lovely girl realized how much garbage people leave in the sand and decided to clean up the beach with her mother. After collecting sodas and wraps, they found a purple shell, which they received with joy as a reward for such a laudable task. This bilingual tale (English & Spanish) is based on a true story. It contains coloring pages, facts, and questions to take care of our planet, our common home.
