Le toboggan at the Perth Scribbler Festival

We are very proud to have been invited to contribute to this year’s festival. The festival embraces diversity and inclusion by adding a multicultural touch.

Le toboggan will organise story times during the week end in four languages: Portuguese, French, Spanish and Chinese.

This is a wonderful family event. Do not miss out! Nearly all the activities are free, only the workshops have a fee and they are selling out quickly.

Here is the link for the program and the tickets. https://www.scribblersfestival.com.au/scribblers-family-festival?fbclid=IwAR2nqur0BhafJZ7lN0Pi3j-nrZUfPoREMxGMjfEPdh2LW2ztprHA3GeuowU

‘La ovejita que vino a cenar’

la ovejita que vino a cenar - le toboggan

In Spanish, from 1yo.

Wolf is cooking a vegetable soup for dinner. It would taste better with some meat. At this moment, someone knocks at the door. Who could it be? It is freezing outside. What a surprise a little lamb wants to come in and get warm. Just in time for dinner.

Will the big bad wolf eat the lamb? Or is the lamb too cute, too caring or too lovely to eat?

‘Tuntun’

In Spanish, from 3yo.

All the animals of the jungle are scared when they hear the sound ‘tun, tun, tun, tun’. They do not know what makes this noise but it is loud and makes everything shake. Tuntun is a big elephant. NO, he is a huge elephant. So big that he cannot walk, he waddles. When he stomps he makes the noise tun, tun, tun, tun. He is sad because he never sees anyone and feels lonely. One day, a wasp decides to help him and stings his bottom. Tuntun is so surprised that he starts running without stopping. While he runs he bumps into other animals, make them fly and several of them land on his back. Tuntun keeps running and when he finally stops the jungle animals climb down. They had the best time on Tuntun’s back. They introduce themselves and from that day onward Tuntun is not lonely anymore and the jungle animals are not afraid of the stomping.

‘A veces me siento pequena’

In Spanish, from 3yo.

Sometimes we feel little. We look around us and we feel that everything is too big for us. All we need is a small gesture, a smile, a helping hand, an act of kindness and we feel better and taller.

Sweet book that demonstrates that a small act of kindness goes a long way to show people that they matter and are not so small, we can see them.

‘Con un susurro basta’

In Spanish, from 2yo.

Sometimes we are frustrated or angry we scream? When we scream our love is leaving us a little bit at a time. So when we feel the anger coming, let’s breathe in deep and and calm down so we can express our frustration more calmly so our love stays with us.

Nice boo to teach the children and the adults about how we are hurting other people when we are yelling and how we can say the same thing in a quieter manner.
