Language Lizard offers children books in 40 different languages — a record, as far as I know. Not all titles are available in all languages, but it’s a start. They also have some interesting maps and posters. On their site you will find books in [deep breath]: Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Hmong, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Kurdish, Lithuanian, Malay, Malayalam, Mandarin, Nepali, Panjabi, Patois, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Serbo-Croatian, Shona, Slovakian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Twi, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh and Yoruba.
Full disclosure: We participate in the Language Lizard affiliate program, but that’s because we like their books!

I am planning a workshop for our district Preschool Teachers and I was wondering if I would be able to receive some samples of your books? I am in the process with our Program Coordinator to purchase books that support ELL students and would be interested in receiving information and possibly samples so the district can view.
Thank you,
