I find the use of English and Swahili, an

African language, in the same

childrens book to be creative and

unique. I enjoyed the book and the

graphic arts, and I was fascinated by

Wendy, the author, who left blank pages

for children to freely wander their

imaginations through drawings and

writings.

¡Gérmenes en tus manos!

A brightly illustrated, bilingual book that teaches children of all ages to wash their hands ​while encouraging divergent thinking and modeling community leadership.

A Mom decides in her sleep

which worry to keep ... Germs

on their fingers. Germs one can't

see. Those germs that linger,

that won't let us be.

A unique "bubblequest" format

that stimulates children and

parents (or teachers) to

engage in provocative

discussions... What fruit did you

eat today? When do you do your

thinking?

Two books in one!

A parent/teacher activity guide with a bilingual audio CD is ​available with this title. Teaching the healthy habit of ​handwashing is do-able! Use this title to create a successful

educational experience that gives confidence to both the ​educator and the student! This title is appropriate for the home ​and classroom, especially to be used by health educators and ​guidance counselors for a wide range of grade levels.

"This enchanting educational experience communicates to ​children of all ages the importance of washing their hands. ​The rhythmic prose is a delight to read; the illustrations are ​bright and bold, and questions in bubbles -- a "bubblequest", ​engage readers throughout the book. It's the first of its kind ​in heightening multicultural awareness; read the book from ​front to middle, and it's in English; flip it over and read it ​back to middle, it's in Spanish! By asking the reader to ​decide upon which worry your action should take, Germs ​fosters community involvement."
