Mammele, if someone cannot read/understand Yiddish, Google Translate can provide a somewhat decent or better translation of a paragraph where otherwise the person would have completely not been able to understand it at all. Google Translate is also good to translate individual words to or from Yiddish.
As far as children’s books, those thin blue story books “???????????? ??? ??????” have dozens of the same titles available in Yiddish, English and Hebrew. They’ve been around for half a century or so and are still popularly available in Seforim stores.
