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!

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)
