Who says only girls can be angels? Angels can do all the things that Alfie wants to do. If he were an angel he could fly to school, sing and dance in the choir, and fly around the football pitch scoring goal after goal. Will Alfie's dreams of being an angel ever come true?
This is a charming story in dual language about daring to do the unexpected. Alfie's inspiring individuality makes this text useful for discussing identity and independent thinking with Key Stage 1 readers. For older children 'Alfie's Angels' is a perfect stimulus for introducing issues such as gender roles and stereotypes in the classroom.

Dual language children’s books are written in two languages throughout, with a close translation of the entire story. These provide young learners with English as an additional language (EAL) the opportunity to read in their stronger language, while learning vocabulary and sentence structure in a second.
According to research, maintaining at least 2 languages is an advantage for later academic achievement. For this reason, it’s in bilingual and multilingual children’s best interest to be supported in all the languages available to them. However, many young children with EAL experience anxiety about communicating in English at school. Dual language story books can help in bridging this gap, encouraging language development and communication whilst still creating a sense of comfortability.
