This is a lovely story of a Brazilian-American family. My daughter is three years old and loves the book, especially the page with the illustration of kids from all over the world. She asks me where they are from and the language they speak, so now she is learning lots of new vocabulary in English and in Portuguese because of that. Also, we love the special page for vocabulary explaining words from the story. My daughter wants me to read and spell the words from the vocabulary list to her. I would definitely recommend this book also as a present to friends who are raising bilingual kids. I think that the only word that is missing is "papai". Even though I totally got the idea that the kids only speak to the daddy in English, I believe that would also be interesting to have that translated in the story or maybe shown at the illustration page where the characters are presented. We read it every morning along with other books from ABC Multicultural. :)

Aqui vivemos também , num país multicultural. Moro em Miami e meus filhos vieram com 8 e 10 anos de idade para cá.
O livro conta a vida de uma família americana e brasileira onde se fala os dois idiomas. Muito legal!Gostei de ler pois é assim mesmo que se passa aqui, quando os pais são conscientes que os filhos precisam falar o idioma português quando tem, ou pai ou mãe brasileiro, pois vejo que alguns pais não fazem assim, tirando o direito dia filhos ter grandes chances na vida.Parabéns a escritora por fazer livros inspiradores e educativos.

Very cute story
I bought this book for my 2 years old. As a Brazilian married to American, I have to say is a little difficult to keep speaking Portuguese all the time at home, I end up speaking English most of the time. What I love about this books is that the story reminds me to continue teaching Portuguese to my little one. It’s a very cute story, and my son loves the characters names. He has to repeat all the names every time we read the book. And it’s adorable how he chooses this book every time i ask him to pick a few books for our night time reading.

Beautiful book!
Beautiful book! It reminds me of my bilingual family, I really connected with the story, I could see my family and myself while reading the book. I sent picture to my parents from the page the author mentioned her son being asked if he doesn't get confused because he speaks both languages, her son said he would be confused if he could not understand Vovó e vovô. My parents was amazed how the history is so similar to ours, I am sure it is not only mine but so many bilingual families. This book will only make sense to you if you are a bilingual family.Obrigada Ana Cristina por dividir esta história linda.Muito sucesso para você!

Um livro sobre a minha família
Muito fácil se apaixonar por esse livro porque ele conta exatamente a história da minha família. Até o meu marido, que não fala português fluentemente, se arrisca e lê esse livro com nosso filho. A história é linda e o pequeno John mostra pra todo mundo o valor de se crescer bilíngue.

Cute Book!
I ordered this as a baby gift for a Brazilian friend whose husband is American. It was perfect! It arrived in great condition. The story line is great and the writing is very kid-friendly. I recommend for anyone who is raising Portuguese-bilingual children in the U.S.!

The world needs more of these types of books!
I WISH there were more books of this kind on the market! This is excellent! The illustrations are great, and show a family with mixed skin colors, which is important for ALL children to see. The story line is engaging and so relevant to the lived experience of so many bilingual children. AWESOME! The same author has several Portuguese board books that are also very well done, but I think that this story book is excellent - I hope she writes more story books like this in the future!
