The Adventures of Kazu and Gil: Fun with Homonyms , dives into language play as Kazu, with his usual enthusiasm, introduces readers to the quirky world of homonyms. Bursting with energy and curiosity, he proudly announces: "Did you know lots of words sound the same but they are spelled differently and have different meanings?! Crazy! Right?! Look! I'll show you!" With that, cousins Kazu and Gil launch into an alphabetical journey exploring how words like "ant" and "aunt," "hare" and "hair," "Gil" and "gill," Gil's dads "Steven" and "Stephen", or even "peek" and "peak" can sound alike but mean entirely different things. Blending humor and education, this book is a treat for both early readers and parents seeking a lively, engaging way to support language development. Jennifer Faus is known for in-depth research and interviews that bring to the public the voices of those whose stories go unheard. Her work has been hailed as "extraordinary and poignant" (Paul Greengrass) and she has been described as an "insightful, highly skilled writer who effortlessly lifts us up again after sending us crashing to the ground emotionally" (Brenna Briggs). Originally conceived in 2007 during the loss of one of their own, Jennifer's family reflected on the joy they experienced during this very difficult time. In telling their story, the idea for Kazu and Gil was born. She did not set-out to write a children's book series, but six books in, she knew she had something very special and wanted to share Kazu and Gil's zest for living and joy in everyday with other families. Jennifer is delighted to finally see Kazu and Gil come to life-a book series, long in coming, is finally here! You can follow Kazu and Gil on Instagram @kazu_and_gil.
