Why the language of a book matters
If you are raising a child in two languages, you may already worry that the family language will fade once school starts in English or French. A book cannot promise to stop that. But a book about the child, in that language, is one more reason to use it — and one the child asks for.
It also changes who reads it. A grandparent who is shy reading English aloud reads fluently, and with the voices, in the language they think in.
The languages
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, Hindi and Arabic. You choose one when you make the book, and the whole story is written in it — not an English book with the name swapped. Arabic text is set from right to left.
Each book is printed in one language. A family that wants both can make two books.
Where a book comes in
You describe the child and the people around them and choose the book's language. The characters are drawn from what you write — nobody uploads a photo — and you read the whole story before anything is printed.
