Про автора
As an Australian poet, it’s hard to find work in the Outback. But there are children all over the world struggling to learn how to read. Some of them have hardly any books in their native language. That’s why I created the Bilingual Legends series – to give as many children as possible the opportunity to read a story in their own native language. Usually, the language each book in the series is published in will be one that’s spoken in the land where that story originates. A typical book also includes the text in English, but in some cases another language is employed instead.
