Bilingual Book Maker

Choose a language, topic and level, get a picture book with English and your home language facing.

If you speak one language at home and your child reads another at school, it is hard to find a book that does both. You pick the second language, a topic and level, and a page count. Out comes a picture book where each spread has the same picture, English on one page and the home language on the facing page, sentence for sentence. Print it on A4 landscape and read it with a grandparent, or send it to school so the teacher can see what the child already knows. Have a fluent speaker check the translation before you hand it out widely.
