Description:
Jayden James thought his family of five was perfect-until last Wednesday, when Mitchell David arrived. Now the car's too small, picnics are ruined and no one's paying attention to Jayden anymore, Jayden knows something needs to be done. In this bilingual version of The Other Brother, children can read the beautiful story of Jayden James and his siblings in both English and Simplified Chinese. The Other Brother is a tale of family, and what that means to different people. In Jayden James' case, the family's attention shifts when his parents bring home Mitchell David. It is a gentle story that teaches children about diversity, adversity and the importance of acceptance whilst taking a look at what might be considered a slightly non-conventional family dynamic. Family? What does it mean to you? The Other Brother opens up the discussion for young readers to explore the places they feel accepted and exchange possible differences and understand the perspectives of others. It teaches compassion and understanding where there might be an 'other', and not just in the context of a family
