Cestun lla et’a? is the story of a child learning about seasons and weather from his grandmother, told in the Alutiiq language of Alaska.

The Alutiiq Museum and Native Village of Afognak have released an app version of the Alutiiq language children’s book Cestun lla et’a? Written by Gayla Pedersen, narrated by Alisha Drabek, and illustrated by Sandee Drabek, Cestun lla et’a? is the story of a child learning about seasons and weather from his grandmother.

You will be amazed at how these wonderful children's stories come to life with this bi-lingual interactive app. Children love being able to run their fingers over the text to hear the story and touch any word to hear it said or spelt. They will happily spend hours coloring in the book and they can record themselves as well.

It's great fun for kids of all ages and it helps with early learning and literacy development. They can even explore other languages and have loads of fun while they do it.
