We told you we could read! To start October (aka "Celebrating the Bilingual Child" Month) off right, Sam and Izzy are talking about The Bilingual Brain by Albert Costa - a fascinating book about the science of language and how it impacts all of us from birth (or even earlier!) to old age. We've also got some resources for those of you who are raising and/or teaching some bilingual children yourself!

Read along with us all month - we'll be reading this book all October and discussing our final takeaways in our second Book Club episode, before we reveal the next book on deck! And we want to hear your opinions too, so tell us what you think and let us know if you have any book/tv recommendations about language: you can send us a voice note through the link at the bottom of these show notes, message us on Instagram, or leave a comment on our YouTube channel. Can't wait to hear from youuu!!!
