This is the bilingual Scottish Gaelic and English edition of this children's book. It is also available in several other languages, in both monolingual and bilingual versions.

Summary in English:

Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.

If you are looking for a bilingual children's book in Scottish Gaelic that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.

Summary in Scottish Gaelic:

Is e balach Ameireaganach coltach ri moran eile a th' ann an Dylan. Tha aon rud ga fhagail air leth bho chach ge-ta: 's e sin gum buin a pharantan do dhuthchannan eile agus gu bheil iad a' bruidhinn ris ann an cananan eadar-dhealaichte. Is e an-diugh a cho-latha-breith agus tha e a' faighinn preasant fior annasach a tha a' dol air chall greiseag an deidh sin. Comhla ris a' charaid as fhearr aige, Emma - caileag shnog dha-chananach aig a bheil parantan a Afraga a Deas - tha Dylan a' dol an lorg air a' phreasant cho-latha-bhreith. Air an slighe, tha an da charaid ag ionnsachadh mu luach cairdeis, comas-bruidhne ann an cananan eadar-dhealaichte, agus mu bhith a' cur suim anns an dualchas is na cananan aca fhein agus aig cach.
