Automatic 5 stars from me. Only Rhaeto-romansch / Rätoromanisch / Rumantscha kid's book that I know of, and so pleased to see the efforts put into keeping this lingual relic of Latin-speaking times alive and well. (Switzerland has 4 official languages: Swiss German, French, Italian and Rhaeto-romansch, which is spoken in Graubünden (Davos, St. Moritz, the Engadine, etc.). It is a beautiful, ANCIENT language that is a direct descendent of Latin that the invading Romans brought into the far-flung, isolated mountain valleys of the Engadine, and I am so pleased to be able to read it alongside German). What a lovely keepsake. If you visit the Swiss National Park, I think this should be the 'keepsake' that you bring home (the illustrations will remind you of the scenery)..
