As Sophia and Alex are home sick today, their schoolmates discover and learn about good health habits from eating right and maintaining good hygiene. From brushing their teeth, to testing their hearing and eyesight, the children learn that staying healthy is essential to feeling good both physically and mentally.The 32-page illustrated book touches on all aspects of physical health at home and at school. They learn about such things as immunizations, reporting abuse, maintaining a good weight, and going to the doctor. Children learn that physical health is strongly related to their social and emotional outlook, and that by forming good health habits, they can be happy and content.Each book in the "Sophia and Alex" series draws on storylines based on common events found in the life of an early learner. Children relate to the multi-cultural characters and learn the art of acceptance and inclusion in school and home settings. Through the use of dual text, the child can simultaneously learn to read in German or English while better expressing themselves in each. Studies prove that bilingual children are more apt to excel in writing and reading in subsequent grades when given the tools at an early age. At the time of this printing, over two dozen languages have been added to the series by the Children Bilingual Books' pool of translators. Parents and grandparents alike cherish the opportunity to connect with their child through reading in their native tongue.Why is reading important to your child?
