Cousins Forever is a beautifully written and illustrated book that captures the special relationship that cousins share. When one of the two families moves abroad, the two cousins do not let the distance come between them. They talk often about their friends, animals, different seasons, and outdoor activities, via video chat. With new words and languages being part of their everyday life, the two girls come up with a fun, painting game, the ""Word Swap"".

A lovely tribute to the unique friendship of cousins. Parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents can share this book with little ones who are just beginning the lifelong journey as cousins together. Close friends are family also, so if you don't have an extended family, your child's best friend may also be referred to as a cousin.

After reading this book, children will:

✓Be prompted to write their very own favorite words ✓Be encouraged to express themselves through art ✓Want to paint and have fun using all their languages

Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said that creativity is intelligence having fun, and that imagination is more important than knowledge. Creativity is the highest form of intelligence because it goes beyond knowledge recall and extends into knowledge creation. Did you know that creative young children who use their imagination are more effective, resourceful, resilient, and confident than their peers? Creative children are also better equipped to overcome obstacles and navigate changes in life.

This book makes the perfect gift for creative little boys and girls, teachers, librarians, and parents who raise bilingual and multilingual kids. Perfect for all children ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and up, depending on their fluency level in the target language. Most suitable for Pre-K, grade 1, grade, 2, grade 3, and parents and Portuguese language teachers who appreciate a well-written and beautifully illustrated book with traditional watercolor art to enhance a child's world.
