About the Book

Join Billy Calendar in a incredible learning adventure! Billy Calendar is a character geared towards children ages 2-10. Through his experiences with friends and family, Billy Calendar teaches children about dates, events and languages that are important across different religions and cultures. Billy Calendar is multi-lingual and teaches elements of foreign languages and social sciences (i.e., holidays, significant events, birthdays, traditions, etc.) in his interaction with the other characters in the series. The stories are simple and easy to comprehend yet they provide the young reader with a foundation for understanding their world and the people in it. In an increasingly diverse society, the Billy Calendar stories educate by intertwining fact and fun through the use of fictional characters in a step towards building tolerance for people who may appear different (whether as a result of culture, life style, language, etc) from oneself. This edition includes a story introducing Billy Calendar, stories on Groundhog´s Day, Christmas, leap years and more!
