– No. We are sisters.

The Belly of the Wave

These little fish swimming close to the surface go unnoticed by most. When the light is right you can see them inside the belly of the waves like small silver leaves.

I could spend hours looking at them.

Bilingualism in preadolescence

Any parent of a pre-teen or teen can relate to a situation that goes

like this: you ask your kid something with kindness, and a loud response

is instantly thrown back at you by your VERY annoyed kid. Obviously,

silly you, it was the wrong question. Still, I appreciated the layer of

humor that the bilingualism of my child added this time. She did too

when I showed her this drawing. We had a good laugh 🙂

It’s been a lot of fun to make this Advent Calendar, I’m not religious, but I do believe in people, especially the young ones, who will build the future. I loved to make it, draw the characters, (some took several tries) and see it take shape. But best of all, I enjoyed sharing it with my daughters, for whom I made it, and also share it with family, friends and all of you out there!
