My Sister is my Best Friend - a trilingual story written primarily in English, with secondary and tertiary texts in French and Spanish, is a terrific book which provides a fun way to introduce kids to foreign language.
Twin sisters who are also each others' best friends enjoy playing, pretending make-believe, exploring . . . and more; all in the comfort of the loving relationship they share with one another.
Author, Nicole Weaver, who teaches French and Spanish in high school, has written a book that is as much a joy to read as it is educational in its content. Colorful illustrations are a great addition to this charming book.

My Sister Is My Best Friend is written by Nicole Weaver. This book is a trilingual language book, offering English, French, and Spanish. This story portrays the love and companionship between two sisters, sisters that happen to be twins. The story provides excitement, activity, and togetherness. The bond between the two girls is unbreakable. Their day consists of doing everything together. The two of them share the love of gardening with their mother, smelling flowers, playing outdoors with their dog, running errands with their mother, and going on special trips into town with her.
Nicole Weaver has written an exceptional story. Not only does the book provide a fun, lovable, and family oriented theme, but it also provides an educational spin. This allows for My Sister is My Best Friend to be more marketable, given its cultural slant, while also offering a fun way for children and adults alike to experience new languages.
Like the characters in the book, I share the exceptional bond between twin sisters. As I began reading the fun, cute, and lighthearted story with colorful pictures, the memories flooded back of my own twin sister and me sharing some of the same joys and activities. It is refreshing to have a story to read and share with others about the close companionship twin sisters possess. Having a twin is like having a best friend for life. The educational aspect of having three written languages in the book was refreshing. It is a great way of introducing new languages for young children and adults.
A Trilingual Tale that is a Trifecta Win!
I love children's literature it was my favorite part of being a classroom teacher and I love reading to my girls. I have been so blessed with the opportunity to review some great children's books.
The latest book I have reviewed is called My Sister Is My Best Friend by Nicole Weaver. It is an adorable story about twin girls that do everything together. They play dolls, go to the park, play make believe, eat ice cream and so much more. Not only is the story cute and relatable to my girls but the pictures are fun and entertaining. I love seeing the twins in their matching outfits as they spend time and enjoy each others company.
The best part of this story is that it is a trilingual story. It is written in English, French, and Spanish. The author believes that children should be exposed to a foreign language at an early age. All children can master it if given the opportunity or the exposure. Nicole has researched and written many articles about exposing children to a variety of different languages.
