The present publication is addressed mainly to Greek children outside Greece, whose daily life in their new country and their education there has more or less alienated them from the Greek language and Greek tradition. Its aim is to help parents and teachers in their effort to keep these children in contact with the Greek language and Greek tradition. The direct and warm narration through the mouth of a ten-year old girl, as well as the witty illustration make the book attractive to the children of this age. The English translation is for the child who needs assistance in understanding the language of the original. (From the publisher)
