LOTE4Kids is an online database of digital books in World Languages, that allows kids to enjoy the magic of books in LOTE (Languages Other Than English). Each book comes with English translations to help kids learn languages.
LOTE4Kids has over 4,500+ picture books in 75+ languages, with new books and languages released each month – helping libraries to engage immigrant, refugee and multilingual families in their communities.

2. Engage culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) families
3. Help ESL kids to learn English while holding onto mother tongue
