Little Gizzi's Galleries™: The Little Gizzi Group

About the Book

• The first in a series of multilingual photo books for children and their families celebrating the beauty of world cultures while promoting self esteem through the love of animals. Enter the world of Little Gizzi™, a family pet, and Little Gizzi’s Galleries™, a collection of color photographs from around the world. Meet the members of The Little Gizzi Group, animals from The Gambia, Italy, Sri Lanka, China, Argentina, The United Arab Emirates and the United States. Travel through a series of open ended questions, translated into the county’s spoken language. Each animal represents a special affirmation which promotes self esteem, language development and cognitive skills. Explore far away lands to celebrate the beauty, compassion and humanity of daily life. Allow the animal ambassadors from individual countries to unveil the authentic lives of those who inhabit their space. Through the love of language and photography, children discover how their life is the same yet different from others across the globe. Little Gizzi’s Giving: 11% of all profits are donated to charity in support of children and families in the areas of the world where the photographs were taken. “This is an excellent book with positive, humane, and educational messages. Meeting Little Gizzi and his friends enhances the idea that healthy relationships throughout childhood are critical to emotional development. This in turn creates foundations for learning in several important areas.” Irit Bar-Netzer,Psy.D., Child Psychologist “I have been selling children’s books for years and have never seen anything like this. It is original. I love the affirmations of each animal character and the multicultural themes. Because of my teaching background I know the need for this is tremendous.” Carrie Gordon, B.A., Literacy Consultant “WOW! I have been waiting 30 years for multicultural materials like this.” Rosalind Brown-Valenti, Ma.Ed., Child Development Center Director authentic multicultural photo books and materials for children www.littlegizzi.com
