by Jessy Carlisle, Paola Acosta (Illustrator), Kuzul Ar Brezhoneg (Translator)

Overview

When Gwendal returns home after many years sailing the seas, his inability to speak his own language could determine whether he lives or dies at the hands of a wily mermaid!

About the Author

As an Australian poet, it's hard to find work in the Outback. But there are children all over the world struggling to learn how to read. Some of them have hardly any books in their native language. That's why I created the Bilingual Legends series - to give as many children as possible the opportunity to read a story in their own native language. Usually, the language each book in the series is published in will be one that's spoken in the land where that story originates. A typical book also includes the text in English, but in some cases another language is employed instead. I hope you enjoy reading my books!

My name is Paola. I'm a graphic designer who loves illustration. I work as a freelance children's book illustrator. With my work, I do my best to portray what I liked to see in books as a child, all those little elements that bring an illustration to life and a smile to someone's face while they submerge in the story.

Since 1952, Kuzul ar Brezhoneg (The Breton Language Council) has been working hard to promote the Breton language on many levels. It offers professional translation services.
