Summary in English:
Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.
If you are looking for a children's book in English and Italian that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.
Summary in Italian:
Dylan è un ragazzo americano come tanti altri. Una cosa lo rende speciale, però i suoi genitori vengono da altri paesi e gli parlano in lingue diverse. Oggi è il suo compleanno e riceve un regalo molto insolito, per poi smarrirlo poco dopo. Insieme alla sua migliore amica Emma, una dolce ragazza bilingue nata da genitori sudafricani, Dylan si mette alla ricerca del suo regalo di compleanno perduto. Durante la loro ricerca, i due amici imparano a conoscere il valore dell'amicizia, di parlare lingue diverse e ad apprezzare il proprio bagaglio culturale e linguistico così come quello degli altri.
