Publisher's Synopsis
A bilingual Hindi-English picture book for children who love to read and love dogs! Kya aap Buckley sey millay hay? Have you met Buckley yet? Share a day in the life of this energetic, loving dog as he goes running, plays in the park, and takes a road trip! This fun, bilingual story with pictures is perfect for young and old readers who are beginning to learn Hindi.
Author Neha Shah did not grow up with pets, but fell in love instantly with her now-husband's dog Buckley. Neha loves reading to her many nieces and nephews. On a recent trip to India, Neha was unable to find bilingual Hindi-English books that her nieces and nephews could read with their parents (some of whom know little-to-no Hindi). This inspired her to create a children's book that could help them become familiar with basic Hindi words. Using color-coded learning techniques and thoughtful Hindi transliteration, this bilingual book is a must-have for all multicultural, multilingual families. Neha, her husband Nish, and Buckley live in Austin, Texas - which is featured prominently in this book! Buckley is a rescue dog, and 5% of every book sold will benefit Austin's local animal shelter organization "Austin Pets Alive!"
