All the children of the world came together to solve the toughest riddle of them all. There can only be one answer to the question: "Where am I from?" A children's book illustrated entirely with life-size spray paint graffiti, most of which have been painted with permission in public elementary schools in Athens, Greece. Terve maailma lapsed tulid kokku, et lahendada maailma kõige raskemat mõistatust. Küsimusele "Kust ma pärit olen?" saab olla ainult üks vastus. Lasteraamatu illustratsioonides on kasutatud pihustusvärviga elusuuruses grafitimaalinguid, millest põhiosa on tehtud Ateena, Kreeka riiklike algkoolide loal nende valdustes. An ideal gift for bilingual kids raised with a global mindset. It's also a great addition to the libraries of children who learn English or Estonian as a second language, language teachers, librarians, and parents who raise bilingual and multilingual kids. Perfect for all children ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and up, depending on their fluency level in the target language. Where am I from? is available in many more bilingual editions.
