Publisher's Summary:

There's a new girl in Romelie's class named Camila. Camila speaks Spanish, and she's teaching it to Romelie. That gets Romelie thinking. What other languages do people speak? Her own family uses English and American Sign Language. Her mom's friend knows Somali and Arabic. Can Romelie discover more languages in her city? How are they like her own? How are they different? A diverse cast gives multiple points of comparison.

Members Reviews:

This is a fun, lively book that will encourage young children to seek out other languages around them ...

Camila was a new student in the classroom and Romelie was interested in being her friend. English was the spoken language in the classroom, but both of the girls spoke a different language at home. It was going to be exciting to learn each otherâs languages! Camila spoke Spanish at home and Romelieâs family used American Sign Language because her brother was deaf. The family used their âhands, bodies and facesâ to talk with him. Camila was able to sign the word âescuelaâ and Romelie knew that it meant âschool.â

It was going to be fun learning more about Spanish and sharing with Camila. Romelie was going to âplay a language gameâ with her mother over the weekend. She was going to speak the words she learned from Camila, but they would go in search of new ones. âLanguage is all around us,â her mother said as she pointed to a street sign. âMany come from American Indian Languages.â They went in search of other languages and found French, Hmong, Somali, Arabic, and even Norwegian. What languages can you find around you?

This is a fun, lively book that will encourage young children to seek out other languages around them. Romelie is very excited to share her language and learn about different ones, something many children would be interested in. The search for other languages is the type of game children would enjoy with a friend or as a classroom project. The book comes alive as Romelie discovers words around her. For example, she finds that her shampoo bottle has English, Spanish, and French words. In the back of the book is an index, a glossary of words used in the text, the American Sign Language alphabet, and additional recommended book and website resources to explore. There are free complementary downloadable educational resources on the publisherâs website.
