I’m Your Neighbor Books has a mission to provide books in translation whenever possible in students’ mother tongue. That does three things – helps kids comprehend English, supports dual language learning, AND brings kids’ joy to see a book in the language they speak at home. I’m Your Neighbor Books provided Auntie Luce’s Talking Paintings by Francie Latour in Haitian Creole, the first language of three students in an after-school program I visited. Here’s a story I wrote about reading Auntie Luce with the students.
