Creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation.

Creative children are also better equipped to overcome obstacles and navigate life changes. This book makes the perfect gift for creative little boys and girls, teachers, librarians, and parents raising bilingual and multilingual kids. Perfect for all children ages 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and up, depending on their fluency level in the target language. Most suitable for grade 1, grade, 2, and grade 3, and parents and Finnish language teachers who appreciate a well-written and beautifully illustrated bilingual book. The use of large fonts and a white background make it ideal for early readers. Nelly's Box is also available in several other bilingual editions.
