Nethaya's song means 'My motherland is like my mum and dad , I respect and love the country where I come from.’ She is holding a map of Sri Lanka.

Taku is reciting the poem 'Rain won't stop me (Ame nimo Makezu)' written by Kenji Miyazawa in 1931. The poem is written in very old style Japanese. 

The poem is called 'Maman, je t'aime gros comme un éléphant', Mum, I love you as big as an elephant and is a French children's poem often recited during Mother's Day celebrations. The last verse translates as follows: 

Mum, I have a secret for you,

I love you bigger than an elephant

Sitting on a sun

At the top of the Eiffel Tower. 

The Dutch book is Samen Lezen met de Zoete Zusjes (Reading Together with the Sweet Sisters).

The poem is called Ahvipojad tantsivad (baby monkeys are dancing).
