Product Description
In this first book of the bilingual Janjak and Freda series, cousins Janjak and Freda go with their godmother on an exciting adventure to Haiti's famous Iron Market. While there, they make many new friends, taste new fruits, and show the value of helping others when a runaway goat causes havoc in the market. The colorful text and beautiful illustrations will leave children dreaming up their own adventures.This story is told in such a way that the characters, scenery, and plot will be meaningful to both English speaking children and Creole speaking children. Rather than a literal translation, the Creole text has been rewritten by Wally Turnbull to provide the most authentic experience for Creole speakers.
Customer Reviews
I think this book is better suited for older kids. There are allot of words and honestly it could've been a great little chapter book.But I still really like the book and enjoyed reading it to my kids. It was hard to keep their attention because of the lack of illustration on some pages but the kreyol translation is a perfect addition to my bilingual haitian household
