Overview

It has been predicted that about 90 percent of the world's languages will die out by the end of the 21st century. A people without language is a people with an undermined identity and fractured culture. If this devastating cycle continues, perspectives, ideas, and ultimately entire civilizations will be lost. There is a way to preserve this important aspect of one's heritage. Educational consultant and author Berwick Augustin can show you how. Days, Months, and Seasons in Haitian Creole is a fundamental tool that will help families, educators, and communities cultivate the Haitian language. In this fun book, children will learn days of the week, months of the year, and the four seasons in both English and Haitian-Creole. The colorful and attractive illustrations are guaranteed to keep adults and kids engaged. Berwick's educational expertise affords him the ability to create this project from a cross-curricular approach. Literacy is introduced in each page as they contain relevant bilingual phrases. The text also includes the ordinal sequence of the days and months, which is an important mathematical concept students need to learn. Days, Months, and Seasons in Haitian Creole creates a holistic approach to preserving the mother tongue of the Haitian people. Your Creole language is a foundational part of your identity, one that needs to be passed down to your descendants and shared with the world around you. Days, Months, and Seasons in Haitian-Creole is the tool you need to keep the verbal expression of a unique people from disappearing.
