Help! : Shared Effort Leads to Shared Rewards in Tigrinya and English
"In this Ethiopian spin on a classic Russian folk tale, an old woman discovers that even the smallest helper can solve a big problem! When she plants her crops, she doesn’t expect to grow a carrot so big that she cannot pull it out. Luckily, she has many animal friends to help her, and she will need all of them to harvest her crop, even the tiniest mouse! A sweet look at how shared efforts lead to shared rewards. Side by side text in English and Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya and Afaan Oromo help emerging bilingual readers build vocabulary and fluency. Captivating collages bring the story to life and support vocabulary with clear visual references and engaging pictures. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of bilingual early readers." -- publisher
