Ella spricht tausend Sprachen (Ella Speaks a Thousand Languages) is an imaginative, interactive picture book that playfully introduces children to language, rhymes, and secret languages.
The book tells the story of Ella, a little girl who loves rhymes, nonsense words, and animals. She experiments with language in creative ways. She doesn’t just speak everyday languages; she develops her own languages for different situations: “Screamish” when she’s angry, “Rhymish” when she goes to daycare, “Whisperish” to tell secrets, “Sausageish” when she eats, or “Bubbleish” when she splashes in the bathtub.
Ella communicates using her hands, feet, arms, and eyes, which encourages children to join in through play.

The book is a German children's book, suitable for children aged 4 and up.

Afterwards, we will be creating something related to the book's theme.
