Reading together is fun! For this episode, we invited children's book authors to read their books as we celebrate International Children's Book Day! ? For your convenience, we divided this episode into two parts. Part 1: Listen to a heartwarming story, "The Piano" by Chari Smith, about a lifetime friendship between Kathy and… the piano! ?Things that tear us apart often will bring us together. Brother and sister experience it first hand with their parents in the story “There is Rice at Home” by Mayowa Precious Agbabiaka. ?A little Australian bird will teach us how to turn our differences into our virtue. Listen to a novel by Adrian Plitzco, "Pirate. The Barking Kookaburra." ?Part 2: Let’s listen to what happens next to the adventurous Kookaburra bird. ?You can also support these authors by buying their books from the links above ?We have plenty of activities, games, and songs that will teach your little one all about collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication in the Lingokids app! ?
