The Kalergis Family Dictionary

By Natasha Healey

Every family invents its own language. The Kalergis Family Dictionary collects one such language-joyful, affectionate, and delightfully unruly-into a beautifully illustrated keepsake for children and the grown-ups who remember being one.

Inside are dozens of original "definitions," born from bedtime rituals, childhood mispronunciations, family songs, pets, mishaps, and moments that became legendary simply because they were shared. A "Set-Up" isn't just bedtime-it's an act of love. "Bibble" is irresistible dog jowl poetry. A "Rombadoon Room" tells the whole story of playtime gone gloriously wrong.

Compiled by members of the Kalergis family and illustrated in a warm, classic storybook style, this dictionary sits somewhere between a picture book, a family album, and a tradition waiting to be continued. Children delight in the silliness; adults recognize the deeper truth beneath it: language is how families remember who they are.
