An Excerpt from Zoe the Zebra All the others just laughed at her and teased her because she was different. When the other zebras ran about and chased each other Zoe was always left out. Just because she was blue instead of white she was always pushed away.
Spanish Translation
Todas las demás se burlaban de ella y le molestaban porque era diferente. Cuando las otras cebras corrían y se perseguían unas a otras, Zoe siempre estaba excluida. Solo por ser azul en vez de blanca, siempre era rechazada.
The 1st book in a bilingual series written for small children. Emily the Elephant Makes a New Friend is a story about recognizing the unique gifts and talents that we each have, accepting our differences, and learning to use both to work together to overcome the obstacles in life. The intent of the book is to entertain, but to also provide a lesson that encourages problem solving, team-work, self confidence, and friendship at a very elementary level.
An Excerpt from Zoe the Zebra "No”, said Bo the beaver, “I won’t play with you because you don’t look like me.” “But why?” said Emily. “Well, what kind of animal are you?” asked Bo. “I am Emily the elephant”, she said with her hands on her hips. “But your nose it is so funny!” Bo exclaimed. “I have a beautiful nose and it is just right for an elephant!” said Emily, her bottom lip quivering. Plainly Emily was hurt and she began to get angry. “Anyway”, she said, “you have a very strange tail. Not like any I have ever seen before.” Bo wrinkled his face and tightened his fists. “Do not!” he said. “Do too!” said Emily. “Do not!” said Bo. “You do ….” And the thunder crashed above.
Spanish Translation -No,- respondió Bo el Castor. -No puedo jugar contigo porque eres extraña.- -¿Extraña? ¿Por qué soy extraña?- preguntó Emily. -No te ves igual que yo. ¿Qué tipo de animal eres?- preguntó Bo. -Soy Emily, la Elefante.- respondió Emily, con sus manos sobre la cadera. -¡Tienes una nariz muy chistosa!- exclamó Bo, riéndose. -Tengo una nariz hermosa, y es perfecta para una elefante. - dijo Emily, con su labio inferior temblando. Fue obvio que se sintió ofendida, y empezó a enojarse. -De todos modos-, dijo ella, -Tú tienes una cola muy extraña. No es como ninguna que yo haya visto antes. - Bo frunció su ceño y apretó los puños. -¡Yo, no!- dijo. -¡Tú, sí-, dijo Emily. -¡Yo, no!-, dijo Bo. -¡Tú, sí...- ¡KAAAABOOM! De repente se oyó retumbar un trueno fuerte.
