 Unique Italian-English Children’s Books Help
Bilingual Families Share Their Language

Basking Ridge, NJ – August 8, 2006 – As the ethnic population in the US soars, Language Lizard, LLC makes it easier for parents and grandparents to share their native languages and heritage with young children. Language Lizard offers award-winning bilingual children’s books in English-Italian and over 40 other languages.

The books include world folk tales and fables, myths and legends, faith stories and contemporary stories that teach about other traditions and respecting diversity. The Company also offers a popular illustrated picture dictionary with an accompanying CD-ROM.

“These books represent the best bilingual children’s literature available,” says Language Lizard President and Founder, Anneke Forzani, who researched the bilingual book market for several years before establishing the company. The products have won awards for both their stories and illustrations.

According to the US Census Bureau, about 47 million people spoke a language other than English in their home in the year 2000, up from 32 million in 1990. The number of native-born Americans with close ties to another country is expected to continue to grow over the next few decades.

Clearly Spanish is by far the most common non-English language spoken in the US. Nonetheless, the Census indicates that there are over a million Italian speakers, making it the seventh most spoken non-English language in the US.

“The demographic changes in our country, combined with growing globalization, point to the importance of introducing children to other cultures and languages at an early age”, Forzani says. “These books help children appreciate the diversity in their communities and the world.”

Language Lizard LLC’s bilingual books can be ordered at www.LanguageLizard.com or by calling toll-free 1-888-LLIZARD. Readers are invited to sign up online for the company’s free e-newsletter, which provides helpful information for parents and teachers who are trying to raise bilingual and multicultural children.
