How it begins

Ciap Ciap Tik Tik Lubaina Bandukwala Sulit untuk diam tak bergerak dan tak bersuara. Sulit untuk mengabaikan jari-jari kaki yang ingin bergoyang. Sulit untuk menapakkan kaki-kaki lincah ini, Ketika suara-suara di sekelilingku mengetukkan nada-nada gembira. Ciap, ciap, ciap suara burung…

Reading together in Indonesian

• Read it aloud first, pointing at the pictures; then let your child “read” the pictures back to you.
• Ask open questions: what happened, how did the character feel, what would you do?
• Growing up with two languages? Talk about the story in whichever language feels easiest — the understanding carries over.
