Somewhere in the Aegean, on a tiny undiscovered island a 7 year old girl looks out her whitewashed window to the dawn over the sea. Today is her name day and she must prepare a Greek salad for her 24 cousins who are coming to celebrate with her. But when she tries to gather the ingredients, she finds they are all busy competing in the Olympic games. Does this sound a little Greek?Welcome to the world of Sofia and the Grammatakia, a new series of illustrated children's books that effortlessly brings the Greek language into the lives of young children through fun characters and stories.International award winning writer and filmmaker, Yannis Nikolakopoulos has devekoped a world of characters and stories designed to introduce children to the Greek language and familiarise them with the Greek culture.'The Greek Salad' is the first book in a series titled Greek at Home. The ingredients are transformed into loveable characters, so that the simple act of making a greek salad becomes an engaging adventure and an educational opportunity. Written inline in Greek, English and latinised Gree, books are designed to be read in or in English (or both) by parents and educators with any or no fluency in the Greek language. Writer Yannis Nikolakopoulos revealed more about his motivations for writing the book. "Kids love to dive deep into an imaginary universes with cute relatable characters and fun stories, but the Greek universe of thought that my father taught me is one where everything the child learns has a link to deeper truths in culture, philosophy, history, language and mythology. So, if made accessible through stories, games and characters, its a cartoon universe because that remains relevant throughout a child's entire life of learning."
