Malty the Blue Tiger tells the story of a little tiger who goes on a journey to a beautiful, diverse place called Biscuit Brook, only to be criticized for the sound of her roar along the way. She yearns to make friends (we've all been there, especially as youngsters!), so throughout her journey, she attempts to mimic every character she meets--yellow birds, purple monkeys, and even a red truck. It is only when she is lost and alone that she discovers her true sound, and her true identity, is the only thing that can help her reach her destination.

Your child will giggle wildly as Malty tries to "Chirp!" like a bird or "Honk!" like a truck, but they won't just be amused by the giggle-worthy story. They'll learn new English and Spanish words, while observing the beauty of diversity and their special role in it.
