Sunita’s Special Day

Sunita’s Special Day is a bilingual English–Vietnamese picture book from Mantra Lingua for young kids, roughly ages 3–6. It’s a good fit if you want a simple story you can read together and use to introduce everyday Vietnamese words in a familiar holiday setting.

The story follows Sunita learning about Halloween at school, then having a small party at home with classic activities like bobbing for apples. You get the text in both languages in the same book, so you can read in English, in Vietnamese, or switch between them to support comprehension.

Each edition is “PENpal enabled,” meaning you can add optional audio playback with a compatible talking pen. That can be useful for listening practice at home or in a classroom, especially if you’re not confident reading Vietnamese aloud. The downside is that it’s still just one short picture-book story, not a step-by-step Vietnamese course, and the Halloween theme may not match every family’s culture or interests.
