I find it hard to believe it has been 4 years since the day I left Malta and moved to Norway. Where did the years go? My husband and I left Malta with a 3-year-old and a baby in the belly, and now the kids were old enough for me to leave them behind, and […]
I have some news to share that is of particular interest for my friends who live in Greece, as the bilingual books “Happiness Street” and “Cousins Forever” will be available shortly for purchase locally. A couple of years back, I got to meet online a fellow author, Christina Konstantoudaki (Χριστίνα Κωνσταντουδάκη), who was the admin […]

AUTHORS COMMITTED TO GIVING BACK TO OUR MULTILINGUAL COMMUNITIES Hi friends, As you know, amongst the different things that I do, I write and publish bilingual books for children (for the ones who are new here, I’m Elisavet Arkolaki 🙂 ). Acknowledging that times have been difficult for many families around the world during the […]
Anzelika, a mum who read our journey with raising multilingual children, sent me the following email. I thought of replying via a blog post, with her permission, instead of a personal email as this might be of interest to more moms out there who find themselves in a similar situation. ‘Hi Liza! There are not […]
This is our story on how we managed to save our family’s minority languages, and how our eldest developed language skills in two additional languages. Intercultural and interracial marriages are on the rise according to studies, whilst more parents, particularly in USA and Europe, are adopting children from other countries. As a result, our communities […]
Good morning friends, my heart is bursting with joy and I need to share this with you. But let me start with a story… As you know, I love stories :). There have been lots of things during my years on earth that I have wanted and wished for, some of them happened, some of […]
It’s been a year since Ana Elisa Miranda and Ute Limacher-Riebold published The Toolbox for Multilingual Families, and I’d like to celebrate with them by sharing with you all my book review. I had the pleasure of being entrusted to read the manuscript as a beta reader long before it got published, and I was […]
Hi friends, I hope you’re all doing great. For the ones that the summer holidays are over and the kids are back to school, I hope that you’ve recharged your batteries and that this scholastic year things are smoother. In Norway, the pandemic measures have been lifted – the authorities have officially classified Covid as […]
Today I’d like to introduce you to one more fellow writer that I admire a lot. It’s rare to discover writers that have their very own, unique way of telling stories, and Kristine Hokstad-Myzyri is one of them. She’s the creator of the Kate the Kitty series for kids aged 1-6, and one quickly notices […]
Today I’d like to introduce you to Rita Rosenback whom I had the pleasure of meeting online a couple of years back while I was looking for experts to contribute to the guidebook “How to Raise Confident Multicultural Children”. Rita grew up in a bilingual household with a Finnish-speaking mother and a Swedish-speaking father in […]

Yoshito’s decade-long professional experience combined with his personal bilingual journey has assisted him in teaching his trilingual sons to read and write in French and Korean (his wife’s […]
Good morning friends from the beautiful and -today- sunny Horten 🙂 ! I have some great news to share, and at the same time, I’d like to take this opportunity and thank you for loving and purchasing my books. The sales of my bilingual children’s books have been growing steadily in the more commercial languages during the last […]
In this blog post, I’d like to introduce you to some of the amazing authors -not everyone has been available- behind the 6-month-long collaborative campaign to support multilingual families. They’ve all been so kind to offer the ebook editions of many, if not all, of their books to download for free on the 1st of […]
