Organized as an ABC rhyming book, My First Book of Hindi Words incorporates common Hindi words into charming English-language rhymes, beginning with: A is for Akash. A sky so blue where little birds fly and big planes, too, and on through Z is for Zukhaam. Achoo! I sneeze. I must have a cold. Mama, hug me please! Winsome, full-color pictures illustrate each word and allow even very young readers to make their first foray into India's official language. A helpful glossary at the end makes it easy for readers--including parents and teachers--to review what they've learned!

With the help of this book, we hope more children (and adults) will soon be a part of the 300 million people worldwide that speak Hindi!
