In a sparkling debut authored by a sixteen-year-old daughter of immigrants, this ode to the power of multilingualism gives voice to the lasting benefits of speaking with more than one tongue.

Sumi’s mother can speak two languages, Malayalam and English. And she can switch between them at the speed of sound: one language when talking to Sumi’s grandmother, another when she addresses the cashier. Sometimes with Sumi she speaks a combination of both. Could it be she possesses a superpower? With awe and curiosity, young Sumi recounts the story of her mother’s migration from India and how she came to acquire two tongues, now woven together like fine cloth. Rahele Jomepour Bell’s inviting illustrations make playful use of visual metaphors, while Uma Menon’s lyrical text, told astutely from a child’s perspective, touches lightly on such subjects as linguistic diversity and accent discrimination (“no matter how they speak, every person’s voice is unique and important”). This welcome debut, penned when the author was still a teenager, is an unabashed celebration of the gift of multilingualism—a gift that can transport people across borders and around the world.

Lazy quality
Format: Board book
My book came with a big, ugly, torn off sticker across the front. We collect the Babies Love books for our baby and I just really did not appreciate the ugliness of the outer cover. Seems like laziness to not remove that before sending it to a paying customer.

Just ok
Format: Board book
Love the concept of teaching baby kindness. The words in this one miss the mark unfortunately. This is not one of our favorites.

Got more than I expected
Style: Boka 3.0
This is my first sonic toothbrush. I am very impressed with it. Like all the options it has and the look of it. It takes up a very small footprint and came with a vented brush cover. Their toothpaste and other products are excellent!
