Elisse Gabriel Senior Writer & Editor

Dreamed up in California by best friends and mothers, Hanna and Anne-Louise, Habbi Habbi publishes educational books that come with an interactive reading wand that allow your child to have an exciting, immersive and auditory experience that will help them develop a love of reading while learning a new language and honing their hand-eye coordination.

Designed for kids age three to ten, their Spanish and Chinese language books are winning our hearts BIG TIME. Available in full starter sets or individually, the collection features books on careers, first phrases, first words, and emotions.

All made of sturdy cardboard complete with a headphone jack, they are extra ideal for travel. When it comes to screen-free learning, you simply can’t find a better option. The rechargeable reading wand is made of non-toxic soft silicone, which makes it super easy for little hands to hold. When touched to any part of the book – even white space – your child will get instant feedback with words, sound effects, phrases, music and more! It even features in-line translations so that non-native parents can read along too.

Benefits of teaching your child a second language

In terms of cognitive development, learning a new language can increase a child’s ability to listen, problem-solve, think critically, concentrate and multi-task.
It encourages children to be more empathetic towards cultures who speak that language.
According to the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages,) studies have shown that children who speak multiple languages perform better on standardized tests.
Acquiring a second language early in life can make it easier to learn multiple languages in later years.
