Illustrated storybook for children 4-12
Sarah, Emma’s mom, promised to bird-sit Pico for two
weeks but soon regrets her decision because the noisy
parrot keeps screeching and squawking all day,
annoying her family and the neighbors.
When Pico makes a mess of Emma’s room, Emma gets
very angry, but her friends help her. Charlotte notices
that Pico seems sad, and Pedro finds out why Pico is
shrieking so loudly all the time. The parrot is frustrated
because nobody pays attention to him, and nobody
understands what he wants.
The purpose of this English and Spanish bilingual book
is to show children the beauty of another language and
that learning a new language doesn’t have to be boring,
it could be fun. The story also delivers a message that
when we don’t take the time to listen to each other, we
tend to judge others quickly before we get to know
them.
