Book Description
for Womagis by Marta Villegas and Mónica Carretero
From the Publisher
For the first time Native American and the most common languages spoken in the USA on the same page! Womagis United States of America is written in English, Lakota-Sioux, Navajo-Diné, Eskimo-Inuit, Hawaiian, Spanish, Hebrew, Tagalog, Polish, Italian, Greek, Chinese, Korean, German, Hindi, Portuguese, French & Vietnamese.
Womagis is illustrated as an innovative template, displaying 18 languages simultaneously, as a multilingual frame. Each language changes its place from page to page, so the book is also a game, where you must look around in order to find your native tongue, just like a smart detective!
Womagis includes some activities to inspire parents and educators so they can work together with the children by creating a universe of adventures and games around the book. Womagis has gathered over 40 translators, some of them from Native American Tribes like Lakota-Sioux, Diné-Navajo and Eskimo-Inuit.
Womagis is a new book that inspires children to create their own language of tolerance and love, all in one story, all in one page!
