What Makes Us Human
by Victor Dias de Oliveira Santos, Anna Forlati
Description
What Makes Us Human is a unique picture book on a universal and timely topic: languages and language conservation. The book reads like a riddle, in which the actual theme of the book is not revealed until the very last page. Clues as to the theme are scattered on each page, making the reading experience a more engaging and interesting one for readers. Part of the profits from sales of licenced editions of this will be donated by the author (Ph.D. in Linguistics) to organizations working to support the revitalization and conversation of languages around the world.
Can you guess what I am?
I have been around for a very long
time. Longer than toys, dogs, or
anyone you know. I am everywhere.
