What´s wrong with Ziggy´s tongue?

On the one hand, we meet Ziggy, who represents the unknown. He fascinates and inspires the narrator to learn more about him and demonstrates the abstract concepts of stereotypes and social differences. We discover the influence of the environment on their innocent point of view and the importance of searching for their own, broader perspective.

On the other hand, we have the matter of languages and communication, which open the doors to unlimited possibilities. Diversity is exemplified by Ziggy and the Narrator’s unquestionable friendship. They remind us that we should never give up on our dreams, even the wildest ones. With meaningful qualities such as empathy and curiosity, we are unstoppable.

IMPLICIT VALUES

Sometimes it's hard to explain to our children what language really is with its differences, and associated varied traditions and cultures. With help from Ziggy and the narrator they can learn that languages, words and even the world can be limitless. The protagonists give the readers a little push to create their own perception with no biases and to search for their own values based on tolerance.
