Summary in English:

Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.

If you are looking for a children's book that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.

Dias de Oliveira Santos, Victor: - A second language learning expert (PhD) with vast experience in the field and a father to two amazingly funny trilingual children, Dr. Victor Santos founded Linguacious(R) with the goal of helping other families and educators worldwide support the learning of other languages in children. With the multi-award-winning Linguacious(R) vocabulary flashcard game and the Little Polyglot Books, Dr. Santos has brought to the market a smart, social, and fun solution to get children excited about learning languages. The materials feature audio pronunciation by a native speaker of each language, which is a perfect tool for those parents who may not speak the language fluently themselves but would like their kids to learn good pronunciation and interact with them. In addition, kids can play various games with the materials in order to practice their newly acquired vocabulary knowledge! In his free time, Dr. Santos is usually thinking about which languages to develop next, digging out books in either English, Russian, or Portuguese to read to his kids at home, or simply making sure his two little polyglot cuties stay out of trouble. Ok, a little bit of trouble is healthy, especially if the kids are practicing another language while making that trouble!: ) In his free time, Dr. Santos is usually thinking about which languages to develop next, digging out books in either English, Russian, or Portuguese to read to his kids at home, or simply making sure his two little polyglot cuties stay out of trouble.
