In here out there D bat nar ka win ho bat nar ka htwat Childrens Picture Book EnglishBurmeseMyanmar Bilingual EditionDual Language

When the neighbor complains, Ruby teases and the kindergarten teacher keeps nagging, Joseph couldn't care less. Luckily, you have two ears: one for in and one for out. There is only one person in the world that Joseph listens to...

❤️ Top 10 Aspects

"In Here, Out There!" is a popular picture book (available as a free 🎁 ebook on the author's blog) for proactively talking to children about the topic of self-protection and setting boundaries:

1. Healthy Boundaries 🛡️

This is the superpower that Joseph masters in this book. He doesn't let hurtful or unnecessary criticism get to him. The book shows children that they have the right to draw an inner boundary and decide what they let into their "heart" and what they don't.

2. Self-Protection 🧼

The "In Here, Out There!" method is an act of self-protection. Joseph protects his good mood, his creativity, and his self-image by simply letting the negativity "pass through". It is a child-friendly metaphor for emotional hygiene.

3. Dealing with Criticism and Negativity 🗣️

The book is full of (mostly unjustified) criticism. It is the perfect opportunity to ask: "How do you think Joseph felt there?" or similar questions. Children learn that not every criticism is justified or helpful.

4. Selective Perception 🎧

Joseph isn't deaf; he uses a filter. He actively decides to whom he pays attention. This is an important life skill: Learning to distinguish the important from the unimportant, the constructive from the destructive.

5. Inner Strength and Self-Esteem 💪

Despite all the pushback, Joseph stays true to himself. His self-worth obviously doesn't depend on the approval of these complainers. He knows what he likes, and that is enough for him.

6. The Power of Positive Attention ❤️

The turning point of the story is the one person who does not complain but turns to Joseph with love and genuine interest (in the book, it is his grandma).

7. Individuality 🎨

Joseph is a child with a "mind of his own". The book is a wonderful plea for defending one's own individuality and interests.

8. Empathy 🧐

The book is also a mirror for adults. You can specifically talk to children about it: "How could the neighbor have said it more nicely?" or similar.

9. Focus 🎯

By ignoring the background noise from the outside, Joseph can concentrate on what is important to him, e.g., painting. It is an example of how setting boundaries helps to direct focus toward the positive.

10. Finding (Inner) Peace 🤫

The "In Here, Out There!" mechanism is also a way to maintain inner calm. Instead of letting himself be drawn into every conflict, Joseph chooses the path of inner peace.

Have fun reading aloud and enjoy the exciting conversations that result from it!

A World Children’s Book for Every Country on the Planet

From Afar to Zulu: The picture book Am I small? (ISBN: 149230977X)
has been translated into over 100 languages since its publication.

The story by author Philipp Winterberg is available for every country
in the world in at least one national language. It is the world's first
children's book covering the entire globe.

In Am I small? young and old readers alike accompany the girl Tamia
on a journey full of wonders. Together they discover that size is relative
and that Tamia is just right the way she is. "Enchanting" judges the trade
journal Eselsohr; "wonderful for bilingual families, and kindergartens,"
says the Börsenblatt and the American book review magazine Kirkus
Reviews kindly compliments "for children who enjoy lingering over
pages full of magical creatures and whimsical details [...] told in simple
and engaging words and imaginative pictures."

More than 200 translators have already participated in the World Children's
Book. Sometimes the research took months, "I had to look for a Tibetan
translator for almost a year," says Winterberg. The book is now also
available in hundreds of language combinations, such as Spanish-Tagalog
or German-Tigrinya — a language spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea, whose
script is reminiscent of children's drawings.

In the years and decades to come the World Children's Book project will
continue to grow. The aim is to gradually translate Am I small? into
over 500 languages.
