What is Fish Tales & Rhymes?
Fish Tales & Rhymes was created by Angelina, mother of two beautiful, energetic sons! Inspired by their energy and their love for music and dance, she wanted to create books that they could sing and dance to all day. She uses the opportunity to revisit her childhood with those beloved songs she once sang. Here are a few words from her:
Raphael and Gabriel loved our bedtime routine where stories were read in the three languages that we spoke at home.
They loved to move their little bodies to music and they loved to reenact scenes from stories I read to them as though they were performing on stage. Our bedtime routine put a twinkle in their eyes and magic into their world.
It was at that moment, the idea of learning Chinese through bringing music and reading together was the answer to the challenge that many other parents face as they raise their child to become bilingual (or multilingual) speakers.
