“The sun beats down relentlessly on a scorched landscape where nothing is growing. Buffalo is listless and desperately looking around for something to eat. Then, one evening he finds a white biscuit in a small pool of water. But, he is not the only animal to see it and a great fight begins… But all is not what it seems.”
Language Lizard’s newest bilingual storybook offering, The Biscuit Moon, is an engaging bilingual story about a distressed traveler.
THE BISCUIT MOON (BILINGUAL CHILDREN’S BOOK)
As we follow Buffalo’s journey, we explore the concepts of climate change, scarcity, and the need to share precious resources.
