Along the sparkling Adriatic coast, where ancient towns meet endless blue seas, three magical tales come to life in this beautifully crafted bilingual Croatian-English collection for beginner readers. A singing lighthouse warns ships through stormy nights. A clever little mouse becomes a legend in the winding streets of Dubrovnik. And a mischievous seagull discovers that painting the sky is more powerful than she ever imagined. Written in simple, accessible Croatian at beginner A1-A2 level with clear English translations, these stories are designed to help young learners build confidence while enjoying imaginative, heartwarming adventures.
Each tale blends gentle humour, wonder, and emotion, inspired by traditional Croatian storytelling, yet entirely original and fresh. Perfect for classroom reading, bedtime stories, or independent language learning, this collection invites children to explore language through story. Text in Croatian and English.
