Do you Wanna Play? - Θες να παίξουμε; Diversity. Uniqueness. Inclusion - Διαφορετικότητα. Μονα&#: A Greek-English Bilingual Children's Book for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Inclusion, Friendship, and Empathy

Part of our Greek-English bilingual series on everyday life, this story supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and inclusion. Ideal for bilingual families and kids who learn Greek - ελληνικά or English as a second language.

Ελάτε σε μια παιδική χαρά όπου όλοι είναι μια παρέα!
Διαφορετικότητα. Μοναδικότητα. Συμπερίληψη.
Τρεις λέξεις που τα παιδιά ενώνουν σε μία ερώτηση Παίζουμε;
Μία ερώτηση που εξαφανίζει όλες τις ορατές και αόρατες διαφορές τους.
Αν ένα ιδιαίτερο χαρακτηριστικό στην εμφάνιση κάποιου τους τραβήξει την προσοχή, εκφράζουν την απορία τους και,
είτε πάρουν απάντηση είτε όχι, κάνουν αυτό που ξέρουν καλύτερα Παίζουν. Εφαρμόζουν τη συμπερίληψη χωρίς καν να τη διδαχτούν. Τόσο απλά.

Όλα τα παιδιά χρειάζονται αποδοχή και αγάπη για να ανθήσουν.
Ασπασία Αλεξανδράκη, μητέρα

Come to a playground where everyone is in the group!
Diversity. Uniqueness. Inclusion.
Three words that children combine into one question: Wanna play?
A question that erases all their visible and invisible differences.
If a particular feature in someone's appearance catches their attention, they express their curiosity and, whether or not they get an answer, they do what they do best: they play. They practice inclusion without even being taught. Simple as that.

All children need acceptance and love to flourish.
Aspassia Alexandraki, mother

"This book, with only one verb in its pages, and that is the verb play, highlights the natural spaces of childhood - the park and the playground - where no one need explain to anyone else that we are all unique, equal, and equally deserving.
It also touches upon an especially important theme: the right of every child, to play and to have access to public spaces..." Dora Georgiadou, Teacher, MSc Early Intervention, MSc Special Education
