Bilingual Resources for Language Learners
Our Company Woman-Owned Small Business Language Lizard is a woman-owned independent publisher and
bookseller that offers beautifully illustrated fiction and non-fiction
bilingual books in over 60 languages. We work closely with schools, libraries,
and charitable organizations to help select the best picture books to support
language learners of all ages and levels. Multicultural & Bilingual Readers can find a wide selection of multicultural books and
interactive “talking” books in common languages such as Arabic, Chinese, and
Spanish, and less common languages such as Dari, Hmong, Pashto, Somali, and
Ukrainian. All dual-language picture books have English and another language on
the page, so the same titles can be used by English-speaking teachers and ESL
families alike, strengthening the parent-home connection. Sets & Teaching Resources To make ordering easy, customers can choose from an extensive
selection of book sets in various languages and levels to suit every classroom
or library need. We also offer multicultural posters and free teaching
resources to help educators build community in diverse classrooms. As a multilingual, first-generation American who worked in the US and Asia, Anneke Forzani was inspired to share her love of diverse cultures and languages while supporting literacy among bilingual families. In 2005 she founded Language Lizard to provide “mirrors and windows” bilingual books in which children could see themselves reflected in the stories and learn about the wider community. She works with a team of similarly minded colleagues who aim to provide the best bilingual books and resources to inspire and educate language learners, support parental involvement in education, and make newcomers feel welcome. Anneke is the author of the children's books Happy After All, Who Are We?, The Three Little Howlers, The Three Little Sun Bears, With Flying Colors: Color Idioms, and the teacher resource manual Building Bridges with Bilingual Books and Multicultural Resources.
