Du Iz Tak?

What might a bug be thinking as it stumbles upon a newly sprouted plant? Readers can experience this imaginary world, witnessing the wonder of interaction and discovery that a couple of damselflies convey while they explore their world using an imaginary language. Detailed illustrations promote a natural curiosity for a young audience, as the story reveals the power of teamwork, determination, hope, and communication—themes that students can connect to in their classroom communities. In a Grade K–2 classroom, the story is suitable as a read-aloud, and its text will invite students to try to figure out what the characters are saying, also inspiring discussions about communication and language. The book’s setting and storyline can encourage students to engage in lessons about life cycles, seasonal changes, and community.
