Description
Counting in two languages is so much fun with our skewers friends!
Enjoying food cooked on skewers is a fun and delicious meal or snack time favourite – after all, one can choose any ingredient to cook and eat, including meat, seafood, fruit, and vegetables. Our Skewers counting book uses adorable characters modelled out of popular skewers to make it fun for children to learn to count in two languages – English and Mandarin Chinese.
Skewers squeezes in lots of extra learning opportunities and skills, such as encouraging one-to-one correspondence while practising counting on a tens grid.
Parents will adore this eye-catching bilingual Chinese-English read due to its effortless integration of Chinese culture through the introduction of everyone’s favourite skewers. Children will love the vibrant colours and the expressive faces in the artwork, which help to make learning so much fun for everyone!

About the Author
Meet Lulu Cheng, a wife, mom of 2 bitty babes, with her newest title - Bitty Bao Boss. Since her bitty babes were born, Lulu has worked hard to embed Chinese language and culture into everything that they do. Lulu's struggle to find cute bilingual Chinese books for her kids' bedtime soon evolved into a #bigbittydream to make Chinese board books of her own for families just like hers. She looks forward to sharing her journey of parenting, homemade Chinese teaching resources, and some late night bookmaking with you. She currently resides in Los Angeles, CA with her husband and two children where she enjoys planning family trips, taxiing her kids to their extracurriculars, and finding the best ice cream spots around town.
A firewife, mom of two wee bitty babes, and the other half of the dynamic Bitty Bao Duo - meet Lacey Bernard. As an American-Born-Chinese woman, raised without the gift of Chinese as a second language, Lacey is hoping to now prioritize language acquisition for her children through bilingual books, cultural events, and their school district's Mandarin dual immersion program. Lacey can often be found in the middle of the night hand cutting tiny bits of paper into cute images for the Bitty Bao books and hopes that you enjoy seeing them come to life in the books as much as she does. She currently resides in Dana Point, CA with her husband and two children where she enjoys catching all of her children’s small moments, exploring new places, and eating yummy food.
