Enjoy a classic Balinese folktale in both English and Indonesian with this beautifully illustrated bilingual picture book.

Gecko's Complaint introduces young readers to the rich storytelling traditions of Bali through a charming tale about patience, kindness and the consequences of complaining. When hundreds of noisy fireflies keep Gecko awake each night, he asks the wise jungle leader, Raden the Lion, to solve the problem. But as Raden investigates, he discovers that Gecko isn't the only unhappy animal, and finding peace for everyone proves more challenging than expected.

Presented in both English and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), this delightful bilingual edition helps children explore a new language while discovering the folklore and culture of one of Indonesia's most celebrated islands. The colorful illustrations and engaging storytelling make it an excellent choice for reading aloud at home or in the classroom.

Part of Tuttle's beloved collection of bilingual children's books, Gecko's Complaint offers young readers an entertaining introduction to Balinese folklore while celebrating the enduring power of traditional stories passed down through generations.
