Greek Bilingual Children’s Books

Greek books / Greek bilingual books for kids / Greek dual language books

“Where am I from?”,“Cousins Forever”, “Happiness Street”, “Nelly’s Box”, and “Summer with Grandpa”  are bilingual books written by Elisavet Arkolaki (me) and published on Amazon in 50+ languages, and as of right now over 50,000 books and eBooks are in the hands of readers (March 2024, about 13k eBooks have been offered and downloaded for free). These books are perfect for bilingual kids and kids studying Greek, English, or any of the other available languages as their second language. Δίγλωσσα παιδικά βιβλία σε πολλούς συνδυασμούς γλωσσών με ελληνικά! They can be purchased from all Amazon stores. Books of mine can also be found or requested in public libraries worldwide. Μπορείτε να τα βρείτε σε όλα τα Amazon, ενώ στην Ελλάδα αποκλειστικά στο βιβλιοπωλείο paperkittens.gr

Read-aloud videos of these stories in many languages can be watched on PEaCH bilingualfamily.eu YouTube channel here. I am an ambassador of this EU, Erasmus+ funded project for bilingual and multilingual families. More information about my background can be found here.

For example, here’s a read-aloud video of “Cousins Forever” narrated in English and right under a video in Greek.

Here’s a narration of “Nelly’s Box – Το κουτί της Νέλλης” in Greek

About my bilingual books

Dual-language books or bilingual books are books where the story is written in two languages. In my books in particular, in the editions with Greek / ελληνικά plus another language, there’s an illustration on one page and the story is on the other in Greek and English, Greek and Dutch, Greek and German, Greek and Italian, Greek and French, Greek and Portuguese, Greek and Spanish, Greek and Ukrainian, Greek and Swedish, Greek and Norwegian, Greek and Polish. Large, black fonts are used against a white background to facilitate readability for early readers and beginner language learners.
