Description
Peek into 9 homes around the world as parents prepare their children for bed. In this book, an imaginative Mongolian boy is too energetic to sleep, so his mommy tells a story to settle him down. By weaving foreign words for 'mom' and 'dad' into the story, she wisely begins teaching her children new languages; in turn, he cleverly questions her! The "Beyond Bedtime" Series features BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Indians, Africans, Asians, South Americans, Middle Easterners and others! Besides being a delightful bedtime story, it is a catalyst to discuss global differences in families, clothing, furnishings, plants, pets, games, architecture, and much more! It is truly a triumph for diversity and stimulus for learning. The book concludes with a world map so that readers can locate the families who appear in the stories. A pronunciation guide accompanies each new word.
