Publisher's Synopsis
Sophia and Alex Go to Preschool is the first in the series of 11 illustrated children books with Portuguese/English parallel text. The series is specifically designed to help bilingual children excel socially, emotionally and academically in school and at home with family and friends. Reading the books stimulates dialog between parent and child and reduces the anxiety often associated with children experiencing new settings and activities.Our beautifully illustrated books are translated into more than 15 languages, and span the spectrum of nationalities that make up our schools today. Our multi-cultural characters demonstrate principles of inclusion, acceptance and validation. At Advance Books, we believe that when we celebrate our differences, we find our similarities. Follow Sophia and Alex as they experience their new preschool and the fun activities planned for the day. Meet Miss Anna and their new friends as they collectively strive for higher levels of curiosity, confidence, creativity and compassion in the classroom. As the story closes, we find the children anxious to return the next day to play with the friends they will encounter in their next book, Sophia and Alex Make Friends at School.
