Talk Talk Turtle: The Rise And Fall of a Curious Turtle in Portuguese and English

Turtle LOVES to talk. She talks about the flowers and ants and dirt she sees as she explores her world. But when Eagle agrees to give her a ride up to the clouds, can Turtle keep her mouth closed tightly on the rope? This charming tale of curiosity, self-discipline and natural consequences was inspired by the founder of uCodeGirl Bethlehem (Betty) Gronnenberg, one of the first volunteers with Ready Set Go Books. Illustrated with playful mixed media paper collage by volunteer student artists in the US and Ethiopia, this was the first Ready Set Go bilingual prototype! Side by side text in English and Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya and Afaan Oromo support bilingual readers in developing fluency and vocabulary.
