## Description

BEST OF THE YEAR: Kirkus · Parents Magazine · APALA · Chicago Public Library · Washington Post · Evanston Public Library · Los Angeles Public Library A touching story about the power of play to break down barriers — perfect for back to school season! It’s Dat’s first day of school in a new country! Dat and his Mah made a long journey to get here, and Dat doesn’t know the language. To Dat, everything everybody says — from the school bus driver to his new classmates — sounds like gibberish. How is Dat going to make new friends if they can’t understand each other? Luckily there’s a friendly girl in Dat’s class who knows that there are other ways to communicate, besides just talking. Could she help make sense of the gibberish? Now in Spanish! P R A I S E Common Sense Media Selection Charlotte Huck Recommended Book “A superb picture book.” — The Wall Street Journal “Masterly. A tender reflection.” — The New York Times ★ “The execution is stellar. A visually and emotionally immersive immigration story.” — Kirkus (starred) ★ “Delightful. Beginning readers will love this book as the illustrations say it all.” — School Library Connection (starred) ★ “Will give hope to kids dealing with a new country and could inspire others to reach out to struggling immigrant children.” — Booklist (starred)
