What Can We Do with Garbage? An English/Indonesian Book for Kids (+ a Giveaway!)
Review by MCCBD Project Manager, Becky Flansburg
Bilingual books are in high demand from parents, teachers and librarians, but it’s not often that one sees a English/Indonesian book much less one with such a timely topic.
“What Can We Do with Garbage?” was written by author Visi Asriningtyas and Visi is keen to write about environmental science – engineering related subjects, mostly for children to help them live in a more environmentally safe world for their everyday life. She was born in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1975.

Here are some highlights from our 2016 event, but first, some thoughts from the Multicultural Children’s Book Day Team
Valarie Budayr (Co-founder):
I never imagined that I’d ever be a part of a global awareness project that benefits children to the tune of millions of people. It’s an incredible gift to be able to give back via a project which has everyone participating at their highest good.

We’ve created this incredible moment which validates and gratifies those who need to be seen and heard while connecting the world to each other through books. [Read more…]
