The Ribbit-Ribbit Pond / El Estanque Ribbit-ribbit

A thoughtful story that deals with issues around immigration by promoting inclusion, respect and curiosity around different cultures. A bilingual design that works as a teaching resource allowing teachers, parents and children the ability to develop intercultural communication skills. Beautiful, dynamic and fun illustrations that allow readers to sympathise and understand the characters and the situations they encounter. The Ribbit-Ribbit Pond tells the story of a group of Croac-Croac frogs and their arrival at the Ribbit-Ribbit Pond. Concerned about their “otherness,” one Ribbit-Ribbit frog describes how exotic the newcomers are. But after spending time with them, the main character realises that the Croac-Croac frogs and the Ribbit-Ribbit frogs are quite similar. The Ribbit-Ribbit Pond then becomes an intercultural place where all frogs can coexist, regardless of their physical and linguistic differences. The values of respect, openness, and curiosity and discovery are transmitted to children through this story, which are essential to the development of their intercultural communicative competence.
