Reem Alabali-Radovan, German Federal Government Commissioner for Migration, Refugees and Integration, also Federal Government Commissioner for Anti-Racism writes about the project: "The picture books on bilingual-picturebooks.org open up a wonderful world for everyone - regardless of their family's immigration history. The books encourage reading and reading aloud, in German and in the native language. "The Magic Dictionary", "Chocolate Cake in Hawaii" or "How Does the Future Actually Come About?" - in these and many other stories, children and young people from all over the world tell their ideas, wishes and hopes in pictures and text. Translated into German and many other languages, they also build bridges between different worlds of experience. Today, multilingualism and diversity have long been a lived reality in our society. This makes multilingual picture books all the more valuable: they can support the acquisition of the German language and language exchange in kindergarten or school. In addition, a story in the family language can offer a home and make it easier to arrive in Germany. I wish continued success to the project!"

不仅在德国居住着来自不同国度的人们。多语种家庭遍布世界各地，数量不断增加：讲叙利亚语、特维语或波斯语的父母的孩子在幼儿园中几周后或者在学校中几个月后便可以毫无困难地听懂德语（或瑞典语、法语、丹麦语）。 通过双语绘本，家长和孩子可以共同阅读故事。不仅如此，对于在学校、幼儿园和难民中心中的难民儿童或对于我们学习外语，双语绘本都将带来巨大帮助。由于语言可以随意结合，即使是较为罕见的搭配同样能够得以实现。在多语言国家（例如，几乎所有撒哈拉以南的非洲国家，以及许多亚洲国家），这些语言可以获得合并。双语绘本应成为一个全球项目。 此外，双语绘本为每个国家的每个儿童群体提供了一个机会，即为所有其他国家的所有其他儿童自主撰写并设计绘本。我敢肯定，很多家长、幼儿园、学校会十分期待来自阿拉伯、非洲、亚洲或其他欧洲国家的孩子的故事。这是多么令人振奋的全新可能性啊！ 我希望这个项目打动众多使用者！

“What an exciting and worthwhile project, one which enables children to read – and write – stories in their mother tongue. I love the idea of these stories travelling all over the world.”

Favourite passage translated for '1001 Languages': Per poter spegnere una volta per tutte il suo fuoco, si tuffò con un gran salto e venne attratta inarrestabilmente verso il fondo.
