Pre-Owned Sophia Et Alex Sophia and Alex Celebrate Winter Break: Sophia et Alex Célèbrent les Vacances d'Hiver, Book 7, (Paperback)

"Sophia and Alex Celebrate Winter Break" is one of eleven volumes in the "Sophia and Alex" series, written by Author Denise Bourgeois-Vance and illustrated by Artist Damon Danielson. The theme of the book centers on Sophia and Alex experiencing family traditions and recognizing other customs from cultures found around the world. The children learn that every tradition has value within a given culture or family and should be celebrated as each family wishes.

The 32-page illustrated book shows varying types of customs, religions, and cultures so that children know that even though we don't all think, believe, or feel the same, that's ok. They learn at an early age that differences exist in the world, and this is what makes life so interesting.

Each book in the "Sophia and Alex" series draws on storylines based on common events found in the life of an early learner. Children relate to the multi-cultural characters and learn the art of acceptance and inclusion in school and home settings. Through the use of dual text, the child can simultaneously learn to read in French or English while better expressing themselves in each. Studies prove that bilingual children are more apt to excel in writing and reading in subsequent grades when given the tools at an early age.

At the time of this printing, over two dozen languages have been added to the series by the Children Bilingual Books' pool of translators. Parents and grandparents alike cherish the opportunity to connect with their child through reading in their native tongue.

Why is reading important to your child? Reading sparks imagination, stimulates cognitive development, boosts social skills, and increases communication proficiencies. At Children Bilingual Books, we endeavor to connect children of all ethnicities, races, cultures, and languages with the wondrous world that surrounds them. The Sophia and Alex series provides a pathway to a child's understanding of language and social interaction. Moreover, they're fun to read!
