Bridges: Multi-cultural books for a diverse world
|
Back home in Brazil, Roberto loved playing football. Now he lives in Ireland, and he’d really like to have a game with the boys in the park, but he’s too shy.
When his granny reminds him of the Brazilian story of the dreaming tree, he doesn’t see how a story can help him …
But maybe it can!
Bridges - A new series of books for modern, multi-cultural Ireland for children aged 6-8
