I find it hard to believe it has been 4 years since the day I left Malta and moved to Norway. Where did the years go? My husband and I left Malta with a 3-year-old and a baby in the belly, and now the kids were old enough for me to leave them behind, and […]
I got to know KT Johnston, and read her amazing debut children’s book, via a small group on Facebook where a couple of writers from around the world discuss and support each other. Writing doesn’t always have to be a lonely journey :). KT writes historical narrative nonfiction, and her book Railway Jack got published […]
Hi :), I just realized it’s been a month since the last time I got in touch. Time flies when you have small kids, and life resumes to the usual -and some pretty unusual- routines, right? BOOK RELATED NEWS Bookwise, LOTS of things have happened, but let me start by sharing with you this one. It’s […]
Two gifts today for all of you, to celebrate the launch of the Happiness Street bilingual books Hi friends, I managed to visit after all my personal happiness street, and we came back home from Greece on the 15th.

Good morning everyone, I am so happy today. Most of you here are raising kids who speak at least two languages, right? So, please, keep on reading. I’ve been working on the second edition of this book since the summer of 2018, and I’ve curated an amazing selection of chapters related to multilingualism, multiculturalism, life abroad, mixed families. And […]
Anzelika, a mum who read our journey with raising multilingual children, sent me the following email. I thought of replying via a blog post, with her permission, instead of a personal email as this might be of interest to more moms out there who find themselves in a similar situation. ‘Hi Liza! There are not […]

Intercultural and interracial marriages are on the rise according to studies, whilst more parents, particularly in USA and Europe, are adopting children from other countries. As a result, our communities […]
As an active member of several author and illustrator groups on Facebook, I get to meet different people from all around the world with similar interests. Some of them are exceptionally charismatic, like Dr. Jana Broecker, who is not just a gifted storyteller, but also a scientist. And of course, a mom of two :). […]

Today I would like to present to you some of my favorite kids’ books, written and published by independent authors; meaning authors who put on a publisher’s hat, and do the whole job by themselves to bring to the world some wonderful books! Marie’s Big Adieu by Tamara Rittershaus, illustrated by Giulia Iacopini Marie’s Big […]
Hi friends, How are you? We just came back from a short holiday within the country. It was lovely, and we’ve been blessed with nice weather, something which is never to be taken for granted in Norway. The kids got to swim in a lake, a river, the sea, and got to taste the very first […]
Hi friends, With so much happening in the world, I have been processing many emotions. On a personal level, we lost my closest friend’s father in Greece during the coronavirus pandemic, and shortly afterward, her baby was born. We won’t be able to see them, my parents, and many other loved ones, for the unforeseeable […]
