Summary in English:

Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.

If you are looking for a children's book that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.

Summary in Czech:

Dylan je americký kluk jako mnozí další. Ale díky něčemu je speciální: jeho rodiče pocházejí z jiných zemí a mluví s ním různými jazyky. Dneska má narozeniny a dostane velmi neobvyklý dárek, a hned vzápětí ho zas ztratí. Společně se svou nejlepší kamarádkou Emmou, milým bilingvním děvčetem, jejíž rodiče pocházejí z Jižní Afriky, vyrazí Dylan pátrat po ztraceném narozeninovém dárku. Během svého hledání se oba kamarádi učí o hodnotě přátelství, o mluvení různými jazyky i o oceňování kulturního a jazykového původu ostatních.
