"Sophia and Alex Learn About Sports" is one of eleven volumes in the "Sophia and Alex" series, written by Author Denise Bourgeois-Vance and illustrated by Artist Damon Danielson. The book opens with their grandfather taking Sophia, Alex, and their older brother, Noah, to a baseball game. They learn about rules and the importance of good sportsmanship as they join a soccer team near their home. Sophia and Alex make new friends on the team and play their first match.The 32-page illustrated book demonstrates role playing on a team, whether it be from watching others play a sport or embracing their own responsibility as a team member. They learn to play fairly and follow instructions from their coach, as well as help teammates improve their game. Sports can play an integral part in a child's life by teaching teamwork, keeping physically fit, and, of course, playing nice with others.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 Hindi 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? Reading sparks imagination, stimulates cognitive development, boosts social skills, and increases communication proficiencies. At Children Bilingual Books, we endeavor to connect children of all ethnicities, races, cultures, and languages with the wondrous world that surrounds them. The Sophia and Alex series provides a pathway to a child's understanding of language and social interaction. Moreover, they're fun to read!
